Sustainable swimwear is made with recycled fabric that is constructed from plastic waste, fishing nets from the ocean and carpet. Repurposed into a luxuriously soft fabric that provides a myriad of benefits such as UPF protection, sunscreen resistant, Chlorine resistant and shape retention.
By making conscious choices and purchasing sustainable swimwear, you are helping take care of our planet and reducing the amount of waste in landfills and the ocean. With your purchase, you are supporting companies that are transforming waste into products and looking after the environment. Sustainable swimwear is extremely durable and lasts two to three times longer than a regular swimsuit. You are breaking away from the cycle of fast disposable fashion and will be saving money in the mean time.

When it came to UVA rays (the type of radiation that is also linked to skin cancer, but more commonly associated with wrinkles and aging), the UPF fabrics offered rates of protection at around 96% to 98%. By contrast, the sunscreens performed at considerably lower rates of roughly 54% (SPF 30) to 82% (SPF 50).
