Patchify
Patchify - a concept that will simplify the recirculation of returned garments in e-commerce, garments that today are often discarded or thrown away.
Patchify's concept will be to connect complaint handling with repairers and new sales, where handling is added only when the item is re-sold. By connecting the handling to customer orders, profitability must be secured.
Contribute to increased profitability and reduced environmental impact
The pilot should result in a Proof of Concept of the system with a defined economic model
that can be scaled up. The project's ambition is that the pilot company will clearly reduce the proportion of discarded garments, which will thus increase profitability and reduce the environmental impact. As the project is financed, the pilot companies only need to invest the employees' time and commitment.
Upcycling products that are currently discarded/thrown away leads to a positive impact on the environment. It turns a cost into a revenue for the e-retailer and offers the consumer the opportunity to both buy environmentally friendly and, if they choose, be part of the process by repairing the product themselves.
NIMLBE PATCH - creates new values from discarded garments
In the spring of 2023, Patchify is doing a pilot project together with Nimble Patch that gives new life to jeans (a pair of jeans can be repurchased 197 times before it achieves the same climate footprint as a new pair.)
The Nimble Patch concept is children's jeans that, through an update, have the knees reinforced with Cordura fabric – a fabric that has a much higher wear resistance than regular denim. Their jeans are recycled and the production takes place in Sweden.
Project parties
In addition to Proflow, Easycom and Nordiska Textil Akademin are also partners in the project.
