Manufacture of Re-usable and optional Identification Garments

作为一家在英国拥有刺绣设施30年历史的服装制造商，我们开始为NHS提供带有刺绣、个性化、可重复使用的剧院帽子的服装（医院在此之前使用的是一次性的），并应用了姓名和职业，因此在剧院里，个人现在可以相互表示。用完全可重复使用的、可以工业洗涤的服装取代一次性服装的理念，既减少了浪费，又在服装的2-3年（平均）使用寿命内节省了资金，我们希望将我们提供的产品扩展到一系列目前受欢迎的服装中。我们目前正在为医院信托基金提供直接订购的剧院帽和擦洗服，以优化我们的及时力量，并正在寻求赠款，使我们的产品范围多样化，成为可重复使用和个性化的长袍和口罩，以满足安全、符合要求的服装的直接需求，而不是单一的使用寿命。该项目的主要目标是，到2020年底，我们将在该地区利用其他非必要部门35%的业务，并利用我们拥有的新的可重复使用的产品系列，将可用性和生产转移回NHS。我们认为，在这笔赠款的帮助下，我们将能够为NHS提供一个可靠的可重复使用的基本PPE服装生产基地，专门从事即时制造，在正确的时间提供最需要的要求，并且对库存水平零依赖。我们目前的生产能力约为每周4000件服装（相对于复杂程度），可以在需要时将其定向到正确的区域，并提供多种产品。根据收到的初始拨款和迄今为止学到的经验教训，需要扩展影响资金，以满足特定的，超出初始范围的要求，即NHS要求的可重复使用产品范围的CE标志，开发机械/化学回收的生命周期产品，并为随后的整体分销供应链创建渠道。最后，也是非常重要的一点是，我们的研发进度要求服装进入现场商业洗涤和穿着试验，以证明整个概念。

As a clothing manufacturer for the past 30 years based in the UK with embroidery facilities, we embarked in supplying clothing to the NHS with Embroidered, Personalised, re-usable theatre hats (The hospital were using disposables prior to this) with the name and occupation applied so when in theatre the individuals can now be denoted from each other.using the ethos of replacing one-use disposable garments with fully reusable garments that can be industrially laundered, both cutting down on waste and saving money over the garments 2-3 year (on average) lifespan, we want to extend the products we offer into a range of currently sought after garments.we are currently supplying Theatre Hats and Scrub Suits manufactured to order direct to Hospital Trusts optimising our Just in Time strength and are looking for the grant to be able to diversify our product range into re-usable and personalise able Gowns and Face masks to meet the immediate need with a safe and conforming garment that does not have a single use lifespan.The Key objective for the project is that by the end of 2020 we are utilising a large proportion in the region of 35% of our business from other non-essential sectors and diverting the availability and production back into the NHS utilising the new re-usable product range we have at our disposal.We feel that with the assistance of the grant we will be in a position to provide the NHS going forward with a reliable production base of reusable essential PPE Clothing, specialising in Just in Time Manufacturing to supply the most needed requirements at the correct times and have zero reliance on stock levels. our current manufacturing capacity is around 4000 units of clothing per week (relative to complexity) which can be directed to the correct areas with multiple products available as and when it is required.Following on from the initial grant received and understanding the lessons learned to date, the extension for impact funding is required to meet specific, out of initial scope requirements those being, CE marking for the range of reusable products as required by the NHS, Development of mechanical / chemical recycling for end of life products, and creating channels for a subsequent holistic distribution supply chain. Finally and of significant importance, it is a requirement of our R&D Progress that garments enter a live commercial washing and wearer trial to prove the total concept.
