Petit Pli - Expanding Clothes That Grow

小普利是世界上最具创新性和可持续性的童装公司。Patit Pli通过在服装中嵌入一项正在申请专利的技术，通过7种离散尺寸(适合9个月至4岁的儿童)创造出100%与儿童一起成长的PET外衣套装。Petit Pli的服装设计和技术循环方法显著减少了在生产、运输和使用时产生的废物和排放。此外，Petit Pli的服装在心理层面上重塑了服装和塑料的价值(领先于爆炸式增长的人口)，并通过延长服装的使用寿命来减少进入更广泛环境的废弃服装的数量，从而减缓了儿童服装的过时。Petit Pli通过在可机洗、防雨、防风的童装套装中嵌入正在申请专利的结构来实现这一点。在这个为期12个月的工业研究项目中，Petit Pli致力于开展工业研究，以改善现有西装的循环性，并开发新的IP和产品。以下是该项目的三个主要成果。改善现有产品的循环性-利用Petit Pli正在申请专利的再生聚酯纤维技术进行研发，目的是创造由再生聚酯纤维组成的西装销售。开发新的IP-Petit Pli已经确定了新的扩展创新，涉及使用再生/原始聚酯创造复合聚酯纤维，这将进一步提高PP西装的耐用性和气候适应性。开发新产品-Petit Pli打算利用之前创新英国项目25130可行性研究中获得的知识，进入孕妇市场，进行孕妇和活动服装生产原型的调查工程。

Petit Pli is the most innovative and sustainable childrenswear company in the world. Petit Pli creates 100% PET outerwear ensembles that grow with children, through 7 discrete sizes (fitting children aged between 9 months and 4 years) by embedding a patent-pending technology in garments. With children growing through 7 discrete sizes in their first two years on Earth, Petit Pli's circular approach to garment design and technology significantly reduces waste & emissions generated at point of production, transportation and use.Further, Petit Pli's garments act on a psychological level reframe clothing and plastic value (ahead of an exploding population), along with decelerating childrenswear obsolescence by extending the use-life of garments to reduce the volume of discarded garments entering the wider environment. Petit Pli achieves this by embedding a patent-pending structure in machine washable, rainproof, windproof outerwear childrenswear ensemble garmentsIn this 12 month industrial research project Petit Pli seeks to carry out industrial research to improve the circularity of existing suits and development of new IP and products. Below are the three main outcomes of the project.Improve circularity of existing products - conducting R&D into using Petit Pli's patent-pending technology with recycled PET fibres, with the intention of creating suits for sale composed of recycled PET fabrics.Develop new IP - Petit Pli have identified new expansion innovation involving the creation of composite PET fibres using recycled/virgin PET which stands to further improve PP suit durability and climate versatility.Develop new products - Petit Pli intends to exploit knowledge gained from prior Innovate UK Project 25130 feasibility study into maternity market for investigative engineering of maternity and mobility apparel production prototypes.
