Eco Nasi Secures $100K to Transform Pineapple Waste into Revolutionary Vegan Leather

Eco Nasi is thrilled to announce that we have successfully raised $100,000 in our latest funding round, marking a pivotal moment in our mission to redefine sustainability in the leather industry. This capital injection will accelerate our innovative work in biomaterial development, where we transform pineapple pulp waste into a sustainable, high-quality leather alternative. Our breakthrough process leverages advanced bio-manufacturing techniques combined with microbial fermentation to convert cellulose from pineapple waste into durable nanocellulose. By employing specific bacterial strains during fermentation, we create a dense, flexible material that uniquely self-pigments, delivering both aesthetic appeal and robust performance—five times more durable than traditional hide leather. This funding is not merely a financial boost; it represents a vote of confidence in our vision to regenerate nature while addressing the environmental impacts of conventional leather production. With these new funds, Eco Nasi will scale up production, invest in further research and development, and work even more closely with local pineapple farming communities, empowering small-scale farmers and creating new economic opportunities. Our scientific approach, fuelled by our commitment to environmental stewardship, is designed to transform leather production into a process that heals the planet rather than damaging it. At Eco Nasi, we believe that every innovation counts in the journey toward a sustainable future. With this substantial financial support, we are one step closer to our goal of redesigning an industry and impacting lives positively. We invite our partners, supporters, and eco-conscious consumers to join us in this exciting chapter where impact and sustainability unite.
