@moea_sneakers launches sneakers with the lowest carbon footprint made from PIÑAYARN
French sneaker brand MoEa introduces the lowest carbon footprint sneaker GEN6 in their new collection. Made from PIÑAYARN®, the sneaker emits 4,81kg* of CO2, which is 84%* less compared to an equivalent animal leather sneaker. (* from a study conducted by FAIRLY MADE® in 2024)
The GEN6 collection has been accredited VEGAN by PETA. This accreditation confirms the entirely cruelty-free nature of GEN6, assuring that no animals were harmed or exploited in the making of these sneakers.
With the low-impact manufacturing process, PIÑAYARN is derived from agricultural waste and processed in a closed loop production, working to the values of circular economy. The trainer upper is crafted with 30% Anam PALF pineapple leaf fibre and 70% TENCEL Lyocell™, wood pulp obtained from sustainably managed forests.

Today is World Environment Day and we’re thinking about how the materials we use impact the planet 🌎
Every day, we celebrate the brilliance of pineapple leaf fibre 🍍 which has many benefits stemming from the fact it is both Plant Based and Waste Based.
Pineapple leaf fibre is extracted from the leaves of the pineapple plant which are discarded after the pineapple fruit harvest; an industry that produces a whopping 27 million tons of leaf waste each year.
♻️ By creating textiles from agricultural waste, we repurpose existing natural resources and reduce reliance on virgin plant fibres.
🌱 As a waste product of the pineapple fruit crops, pineapple leaf fibre does not use any additional land, water or pesticides to grow.
🍃 Using waste not only makes pineapple leaf fibre a low-impact textile fibre to produce, but also helps to reduce the CO2 emissions being released into the atmosphere by preventing the burning of the pineapple leaf waste.
🤝 Repurposing pineapple leaf waste into textiles creates positive social impact by introducing new jobs in rural communities, while providing a second and diversified income stream for the pineapple farmers.
Plant Based + Waste Based = Better Textiles for People & Planet
