MATERIAL INNOVATION

The material you used yesterday does not have to be the material you use tomorrow.

Material innovation is moving quickly.

New fibres.

New compounds.

New additives.

New constructions.

New ways to improve performance, reduce impact and solve product problems.

The challenge is knowing which innovation is commercially relevant.

FABRIC 0.01 helps brands find that answer.

START WITH THE CHALLENGE

We are not interested in innovation for innovation’s sake.

We start with the question:

What are you trying to improve?

• Weight
• Strength
• Durability
• Comfort
• Flexibility
• Recyclability
• End of life
• Carbon impact
• Performance
• Cost
• Product differentiation

From there, we look for technologies and materials capable of moving the product forward.

BRIDGE THE GAP

There is often a gap between an exciting technology and a commercial product.

FABRIC 0.01 helps bridge it.

Technology partner.

Material supplier.

Factory.

Product team.

Buyer.

Testing.

Commercialisation.

The aim is to get the right people around the same problem.

TEST BEFORE YOU SCALE

You do not need a five-year innovation strategy to begin.

You need one relevant idea worth testing.

One product.

One material.

One pilot.

Learn quickly, then decide what comes next.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

References to improved performance, reduced impact, recyclability, carbon impact or other benefits are potential areas for assessment, not guaranteed outcomes.

Suitability, compliance, technical performance and environmental claims must be independently verified for the specific material, finished product, manufacturing process, market and intended use before commercial adoption or public claim.
