Ever more demanding material sourcing
A high-end recycled fabric
We place ever greater demands on the sourcing of our materials.
All our fabrics are labeled OEKO-TEX®️ Standard 100: this high quality label guarantees the absence of toxic products for the body and the environment. Standard 100 certification aims to guarantee a textile product as being free of any harmful substances.
Our swimsuits are made from a high-end recycled fabric, a 100% regenerated nylon thread from fishing nets and other plastics recovered from the seas and oceans.
Here we explain in more detail the stages of manufacturing our recycled fabric:
1. COLLECTION : Collection of fishing nets and other plastics in the seas and oceans, particularly through initiatives set up such as Healthy Seas, or volunteer divers and fishing communities.
2. Delivery and processing: All waste is then sent to a treatment center. The nylon is separated from other materials then cleaned and compacted.
3. Depolymerization : The depolymerization phase returns the nylon to its original state by eliminating all foreign substances. This is a regeneration rather than a conventional recycling process.
4. Transformation : The regenerated fibers are then transformed into textile yarns used for swimwear, sportswear, etc.
5. Marketing : Thanks to this approach, nylon can be regenerated endlessly and without losing its quality. We can therefore market and purchase products without having to use new resources.
The gold zamak pieces on our swimsuits (clasps and strips) are also recyclable. Indeed, this zinc alloy perfectly meets eco-design requirements.
