Acropora Swim Shorts

Every year, 8 million tons of garbage end up in the sea, the equivalent of one dumpster per minute. 80% of it settles to the bottom of the oceans, deteriorating into nanoparticles that fish ingest, mistaking them for plankton.

For many of our garments we are proud to use the ecological fiber created by the Spanish company Seaqual.

Indeed, since 2016, the Spanish company Seaqual 4U is engaged in a new program to support the protection of aquatic environments by creating a new fiber from plastic waste collected at the bottom of the sea. With 400 partner fishing boats, Seaqual 4U recovers this waste, treats it and recycles it through a continuous and discontinuous fiber and yarn that offers the same properties as virgin polyester. But with a much smaller ecological footprint: up to -20% water consumption, -40% energy consumption and -50% CO² emissions.
