Prototype coat designed for disassembly and recycling
Executive Overview
Peak Performance, with ALLIED Feather + Down, Bureo, PERTEX, and Resortecs, created the Helium Loop Anorak, a recyclable prototype jacket designed for automated disassembly.
Manufacturing & Process Note
Heat-activated Smart Stitch thread enables component separation at end-of-life, but plant managers must validate bond integrity under repeated wash cycles and ensure supply chain readiness for scaled thread production. The five-year plan for European disassembly plants requires alignment with local textile waste logistics and sorting infrastructure.
