We now offer recyclable fabrics made from 92% recycled Polyester and only 8% Spandex.

 

Polyester (PET, the plastic symbol 1) of our swimsuit is a raw material 100% recycled post-consumer that is revolutionary! The fiber is made from post-consumer recycled drinking bottles.

• Anti-bacterial

• Clean and hygienic

• Odor resistant

• Non-toxic

• Pilling resistant

• Breathable

• Fast drying

• Moisture management and wicking

• Environmentally friendly treatment

 

ChitoSanté is a new environmentally friendly treatment that is made from a natural biomass called Chitosan. Chitosan is made from waste derived from the consumption of crustaceans (use of crab and / or shrimp shells).

ChitoSanté is created when Chitosan is combined with textile fibers during the dyeing and/or finishing process. Since Chitosan binds very easily, it can be combined with a variety of different fibers and creates a fabric with many benefits. ChitoSanté is absorbent, breathable, durable, fast drying, soft, static-free and easy to handle. Along with these benefits, ChitoSanté has natural and durable anti-bacterial properties. ChitoSanté strongly inhibits the growth of bacteria. ChitoSanté treated fabrics stay fresh, hygienic and odor resistant.

ChitoSanté is the only anti-bacterial bio-agent in the world that is certified by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
