Sustainability Efforts

Our outer fabric is sourced from Carvico, an Italian fabric company committed to offering “high end recycled fabrics made of ECONYL® yarn, a 100% regenerated nylon yarn derived from pre and post industrial waste such as discarded fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet use, industrial plastic and carpet fluff (the top part of Nylon carpets which have got to the end of their useful life)”
Carvico’s Vita Fabric is made from 78% Recycled Nylon & 22% Elastane

Our lining fabric is made of Ecofit 13, a recycled fiber made from 88% Recycled Mipan® Regen Nylon / 12% Creora® HighClo Spandex. Extremely soft and 40/50+ UPF!

We use industry standard Fulflex® brand elastic. It is ideal for sewing swimwear due to its superior stretch, strength, and ability to withstand chlorine and saltwater. Although not made from recycled materials, it is made to last. When paired with sustainable textiles, our elastic should never end up in the landfill.
Here’s why we love Fulflex’s company ethics: They provide in-house training to “help employees further develop the special skills necessary to work in the rubber industry. The salary ranges from $19.53 per hour to $23.72 per hour post training, and the company offers a competitive benefits package that includes a comprehensive medical, dental and vision plan, as well as 401(k) with a company match.”

We use Noissue’s recycled mailers_ 100% recycled LDPE (that's low-density polyethylene, plastic #4) and HDPE (high-density polyethylene, plastic #2)
Please remove the mailing stickers before recycling the mailers.
Noissue’s mailers are Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified!
Our thank you cards from Noissue are digitally printed on FSC-certified paper, and printed with earth-friendly inks, and can be recycled!
The tissue paper included in the order is recycled from past holidays and birthdays and we encourage you to reuse it for your gift giving :)
We stamp the inside of our suits using ecoink, instead of using vinyl tagless tags or paper hangtags for less waste all together.
