Impact Report
For 2025, we are happy to report that we:
- Recycled >5000 plastic bottles with our Repreve swimsuits
- Prevented 60955.54 kg of CO2 emission with our Repreve and ECONYL swimsuits. *Remember, ECONYL regenerated nylon has a 90 percent lower impact on climate change as opposed to Nylon which is made from oil. There are savings of 70,000 barrels of crude oil and 57,100 tons of CO2 equivalent emissions for every 10,000 tons of ECONYL raw material. REPREVE's carbon impact is significantly lower than virgin polyester, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 42% for filament yarn and even more for textile waste, along with lowering fossil fuel use and water consumption, by transforming recycled plastic bottles and textile waste into new fibers, offering a more sustainable choice for the fashion industry.
- Donated 10% of profits to community non profit organizations that promote sustainability, environmental conservation, coral restoration, and
- Helped divert 300 lbs of textile/ clothing waste from landfills with help from Trashie bags. *Note: Each Trashie bag diverts up to 15lbs of clothing and textiles from the landfill, saves 1596 gallons of water and 151 lbs of CO2 emissions.
Below is our Impact Methodology for calculating our plastic bottles and carbon emissions for those that want to get down to the math/ science of it all (industry standards, Repreve and ECONYL given statistics, and unique design aspects of our swimwear, e.g. double layering, also affects these numbers):
