drirelease® PINEAPPLE is the latest blend from Optimer Brands which uses farm waste to optimize comfort in all types of apparel. This engineered blend combines natural hydrophilic fibers made from pineapple leaves with special hydrophobic synthetic fibers for optimized performance. drirelease® PINEAPPLE fabrics efficiently pull moisture and perspiration away from the skin and pushes it to the exterior of the fabric where it can evaporate quickly, without the use of wicking finishes. After the fruit harvest, Pineapple leaves are typically burned as waste releasing more pollutants into the air. As part of the drirelease® technology, these leaves can now release all day comfort instead. Turning pineapple waste into sustainable textile materials helps to promote a more circular alternative for enhancing comfort in apparel.
