- Permet is building a regenerative garment production system that breaks the "create to sell" garment production cycle - which currently drives the garment industry and creates massive waste in the process.
- We are developing models for traceable garment production — which make metadata on the resources and labor behind garment collections accessible and transparent.
- We are also creating new incentive models and technological rails that allow for the creation of value outside of the actual physical production of clothes (and resulting waste that comes from that process.
- Currently working on an OSS regenerative merch production tool that leverages trustless, onchain data + smart contracts — an environment and ethical-labor friendly alternative to current destructive merch production systems.
- Soft-launched a research publication open-sourcing the process behind building Permet’s OSS tooling + physical supply chain — focused on educating young creatives on the use-cases of blockchain technology. Can be viewed at [permet.co/research](http://permet.co/research).
- Launched Visual Maintenance System e-zine advocating for sustainable fashion — has been adopted by prominent artists like figure31, shl0ms, and terra0.
- Permet is also working on the first open-source community-based supply chain. We have created an MVP supply chain in Toronto, CA and are producing the first garment sample prototypes with this supply chain.
