Next Steps: 3D Woven Shirts

作为时尚产业的一部分，每年要排放12亿吨二氧化碳，消耗9800万吨不可再生资源，生产服装需要5300万吨纤维，这些纤维要经过复杂而不透明的全球供应链。然而，一件衣服80%的环境足迹是在设计阶段决定的。Graysha Audren创立了Weffan，使用3D编织服装技术彻底改变我们设计服装的方式，以降低时尚行业的碳足迹，结合低浪费，按需，透明的近岸制造。“下一步”允许[Graysha Audren] b[0]探索Weffan的3D服装编织创新应用于商业和生产就绪的3D编织衬衫。纬帆将专注于3D编织衬衫制造的新研究和开发领域，为目前浪费的裁剪和缝制制造提供有竞争力的替代方案，作为其在工业规模上创造可持续、有竞争力和有弹性生产的使命的一部分。Weffan将创建3D衬衫设计组件和规格目录，以确保与时尚品牌合作，并整合Weffan可持续发展的英国制造合作伙伴。这是一个市场测试微帆创新的机会，以可持续地影响人类和地球的时尚产业。[0]: mailto: graysha@weffan.co

Fifty-three million tonnes of fibre are produced to make clothes that travel through complex and opaque global supply chains as part of a fashion industry that emits 1.2 billion tonnes of CO2 and consumes 98 million tonnes of non-renewable resources annually. However, 80% of a garment's environmental footprint is decided at the design stage. Graysha Audren founded Weffan to revolutionise how we design clothing using 3D woven garment technology to lower the fashion industry's carbon footprint, incorporating low-waste, on-demand, transparent, nearshore manufacturing.Next Steps allows [Graysha Audren][0] to explore Weffan's 3D garment weaving innovation applied to commercial and production ready 3D woven shirts. Weffan will focus on a new area of research and development into 3D woven shirt construction, offering a competitive alternative to current wasteful cut & sew manufacturing as part of its mission to create sustainable, competitive, and resilient production at an industrial scale. Weffan will create a catalogue of 3D shirt design components and specifications in order to secure a fashion brand collaboration, with a production run integrating Weffan's sustainable UK manufacturing partners. It's an opportunity to market-test Weffan's innovation in order to sustainably impact the fashion industry for people and planet. [0]: mailto:graysha@weffan.co
