IVALO.COM has a range of great swimwear brands with swimsuits and bikinis made from recycled materials. We updated our top list for summer 2023.
CHOOSE BETTER ECO-MATERIAL
The most common eco-material for swimwear is recycled nylon/polyamide ECONYL®. Recycled polyesters are also used to some extent, the best known being REPREVE® and SEAQUAL® YARN.
ECONYL® is regenerated nylon that Aquafil launched in 2011.
ECONYL® is made from waste collected from the oceans, such as old fishing nets and industrial plastic. Old carpets and textile waste from the clothing industry are also used.
The manufacturing process of ECONYL® is 80% more climate-friendly than that of oil-based materials. The ingenious material can also be recycled again and again without any deterioration in the quality of the final product.
ECONYL® is soft and comfortable to wear.
