Responsible, holistic, INNOVATIVE product Development
Outsider Innovation works with material producers and consumers in the Americas and Internationally to build better products, help companies reduce their load on the environment and transition towards responsible consumption.
Our fresh perspective can help your company break through stagnation. By working together to better understand your problems and devising unique solutions, we help find ways to improve your products.
Communication can be difficult in complex supply chains. Regardless of your position in the supply chain - raw material production, component manufacturing or retailer, we can work with you to help ensure your customer gets what they need.
Technical Materials
End users subject themselves to almost all environments on the planet and expect their gear to not only survive these conditions, but to enable their peak performance. We can help develop responsible, high-performance components for the most demanding products and consumers.
Chemical Responsibility
Material production and finishing can involve toxic chemistry. We can help you understand what is in your product so we can build it more responsibly, together.
Attention to Detail
Quality begins before the material is produced and ends well after the product is in the user’s hands. We can help your company and partners document and track the important metrics and distill the data into actionable information.
Social Conscience
Materials can be labor intensive to produce regardless of their point of origin, and plausible deniability doesn’t work if there is an issue. We can help ensure your product is built by the best producers according to the most up-to-date social responsibility standards.
Forward Compatible
Doing less harm is no longer enough. Make sure your product will be relevant for not only today’s most demanding consumers, but tomorrow’s. By taking careful consideration in tracking and selecting all the components, we can help your company find ways to appeal to ever more demanding consumers while still being affordable and efficient to produce.
Beautiful
Some materials, especially textiles, cannot always be assessed by their performance alone. We appreciate the nuances in different media and how they can relate to your consumer’s experience.
