Objective

Create an enterprise that aims to repurpose food waste into product or service.

Rationale

Through research, we discovered that Piñatex, a material made out of pineapple leaf fibre, an often overlooked part of food waste. Piñatex is more durable than most other food-based materials, thus leading us to focus on a workwear-centred brand. Paragon aims to highlight the existence of inclusive workwear and provide women-centred workwear, such as hard hats that accommodate a ponytail.
