Summary

Fuwa creates enzyme-based cleaning products made from fermented pineapple skins. Synthetic cleaners and sprays are filled with chemicals and even microplastics that are said to be linked not only to environmental pollution but also to a rising number of health conditions. Fuwa makes a natural solution that uses only natural ingredients like pineapples, water and sugar. The company purchases fruit waste from nearby corporations that product canned pineapple. The company cleans them, mixes them with sugar and water and allows them to ferment. The fermentation process creates so many enzymes and acids that the mixture can be used as a potent cleaner. The solid waste from this process is sent off to local farms to be used as fertilizer. (Source)
