The demand of fibers is increasing with the growth of population. To meet this demand the use of synthetic fibers is also increasing that is great threat for our environment. The scientific community and environmentalists are trying their best to replace the use of natural fiber in place of synthetic fibers. Among different types of natural fibers, Pineapple Leaf Fiber (PALF) shows outstanding fiber properties which are rich in cellulose, cost effective, eco-friendly having good fiber strength. In this study, the authors have tried to focus on the extraction process of PALF from leafs, characterization of PALF and its applications to produce different value added products.
