This working paper is part of a project funded by the British Council and MiGHT (Malaysia) that aims to develop a green prosthesis using sustainable processes and materials to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the State of Perlis, Malaysia. The paper focuses on the environmental impact of the lower-limb prosthetic socket (LLPS) and proposes the use of pineapple leaf fibers sourced from agro-waste as a green material for LLPS production. The study conducted experiments, field interviews, and a life-cycle assessment (LCA) to assess the feasibility, benefits, and challenges associated with using pineapple leaf fibers. More detailed findings will be shared in a follow-up working paper.
