Petit Pli - Expanding Clothes That Grow

Petit Pli是世界上最具创新性和可持续发展的童装公司。Petit Pli通过在服装中嵌入正在申请专利的技术，创造了7种独立尺寸（适合9个月至4岁的儿童）的100% PET外衣套装。随着孩子们在出生后的头两年里经历了7种不同尺寸的成长，Petit Pli的服装设计和技术的循环方法大大减少了生产，运输和使用过程中产生的废物和排放。此外，Petit Pli的服装在心理层面上重新定义了服装和塑料的价值（在人口爆炸之前），沿着通过延长服装的使用寿命以减少进入更广泛环境的废弃服装的数量来减缓童装的过时。Petit Pli通过在可机洗、防雨、防风的童装套装中嵌入一种正在申请专利的结构来实现这一目标。在这个为期12个月的工业研究项目中，Petit Pli旨在进行工业研究，以改善现有套装的循环性，并开发新的IP和产品。以下是该项目的三个主要成果。提高现有产品的循环性-进行研发，使用Petit Pli正在申请专利的再生PET纤维技术，开发新的IP - Petit Pli已经确定了新的扩展创新，涉及使用回收/再生材料制造复合PET纤维。开发新产品- Petit Pli打算利用从之前的Innovate UK项目25130可行性研究中获得的知识进入孕妇市场，用于孕妇和移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.
