Feasibility Study to explore manufacturing Treekind with Uniroyal Global (continuous production) and Veshin Factory (leather goods production)

在英国，每年有30万吨衣服（价值1.4亿英镑）和3亿双鞋子进入垃圾填埋场。纺织业占全球碳排放量的5.4%。皮革是最具环境破坏性的材料（TheFashionAgenda-2020）COVID-19导致全球材料短缺，并扰乱了全球皮革制造业（国际劳工组织）。为所有国家/大陆确保当地原材料供应是一项基本需求。我们是一家拥有化学/产品设计/业务开发，营销/战略/资金/项目管理专业知识的八人创业公司。我们一直在开发Treekind（TM）？3年我们目前正在进行批量生产的试点。下一步是连续生产，这是这个可行性研究的重点。是一种新的皮革替代品制成的绿色废物（花园/公园废物），可以回收或家庭堆肥。它使用的水少于传统皮革加工的1%。它是无毒/纯素/估计碳中性/并包含零石化产品。我们的目标行业是时尚皮革制品。是：* 聚氨酯/塑料免费 * 估计碳负 * 再生/累积 * 由植物制成 * 零废物/闭环 * 可回收前/消费后 * 家庭和工业堆肥这个项目将探讨整合树（TM）的可行性？将现有的生产途径，专注于连续材料生产和产品制造技术。通过与国际合作伙伴合作，我们旨在更好地了解皮革供应链的细微差别和限制（特别是我们可以整合/利用的现有设备和工艺），并确定最有利的路线，以推动Treekind（tm）？的广泛应用和采用。

In the UK, 300,000 tonnes of clothing (worth £140 million) and 300 million pairs of shoes reach landfill annually. The textiles industry causes 5.4% global carbon emissions. Leather is the most environmentally damaging material (TheFashionAgenda-2020)COVID-19 has caused global material shortages and disrupted global leather manufacturing (InternationalLabourOrganisation). There is a fundamental need to secure local supply of raw materials for all countries/continents.We are a startup of eight people with expertise in chemistry/product design/business development, marketing/strategy/funding/project management. We have been developing Treekind(tm)? for 3 years. We are currently working on our batch-produced pilot. The next step is continuous production, which is the focus of this feasibility study.Treekind(tm)? is a new leather alternative made from green waste (garden/park waste) that can be recycled or home composted. It uses less than 1% of the water in conventional leather processing. It is non-toxic/vegan/estimated carbon-neutral/and contains zero petrochemicals.Our target industry is fashion leather goods.Treekind(tm)? is:* PU/plastic-free* Estimated carbon-negative* Regenerative/cumulative* Made from plants* Zero waste/closed-loop* Recyclable pre-/post-consumer* Home and industrially compostableThis project will explore the feasibility of integrating Treekind(tm)? into existing production pathways, focussing on continuous material production and product manufacturing techniques. By working with international partners, we aim to better understand the nuances and constraints of leather supply chains (in particular the existing equipment and process that we can integrate/leverage) and identify the most advantageous routes to drive the widespread availability and adoption of Treekind(tm)?.
