The introduction of MaxHeat into the market will have very positive impacts in the EU and globally from an economic and social perspective:
Development of European industry: Up to date, Inuheat’s production has relied in Asian suppliers and manufacturers. With the scale up of MaxHeat technology, Inuheat will bring the production of our heating technology to Sweden and other countries within the EC, contributing to the creation of jobs and the development of the European industry.
Increasingly competitive clothing industry: Currently, brands producing heated clothing have to invest large amounts of resources in the development and implementation of their own heating technology. MaxHeat offers the opportunity to create smart heated clothing product lines based on a thoroughly trialled technology which can be easily implemented in standard production lines.
Improved well-being and productivity for outdoor workers: Only in Europe, more than 13 million people work in the construction, mining and quarrying sectors. Workers in these segments usually work outdoors and are periodically exposed to low temperatures and cold-related conditions. MaxHeat will provide outdoor workers with effective heated clothing that combines high performance with comfort, durability and affordable costs, improving their working conditions and productivity.
Reduced environmental impact: Most top end heating systems incorporate silver coated fabrics, which are considered hazardous for the environment due to the release of toxic silver ions. All the components of MaxHeat (yarn, fixing label and PowerPack) comply with EU regulation and avoid the use of environmentally hazardous substances. Moreover, MaxHeat will comply with the Oeko-Tex 100 standard, which guarantees no harmful substances are used in a specific textile product.
