PLANET-CONSCIOUS MATERIALS
We Use Recycled Yarn
We create many of the styles in our collections using recycled fibres. We also make our swimwear range using REPREVE® yarn. Both of these processes work by transforming recycled bottles into fibres, which extends product lifespan and reduces the demand for new materials.
The REPREVE® process embeds properties like wicking, adaptive warming and cooling, and water repellency for a reliable, resilient yarn. So far, UNIFI, which makes REPREVE®, has recycled over 20 billion plastic bottles (and counting), helping to reduce plastic pollution.
You can find out more about REPREVE® via their website:

Why We Love Organic Cotton
We love using organic cotton in our collections because it's super-soft, resilient and kinder to the planet.
Genetically Modified (GM) seeds are banned in organic practices, so instead, farmers save seeds each year, which is a more environmentally-friendly practice.
The way in which organic cotton is grown encourages healthier soil, which soaks up water during floods and rainfall and holds it for longer during droughts. Organic cotton farmers also use natural systems to grow their crops, including crop rotation, green manures and composting. In addition, they avoid using fossil-fuel-based fertilisers and synthetic pesticides for a cleaner environment that also protects workers.

The Great Things About Modal
We love using modal fabric in our sleepwear as it's super soft and breathable. Modal is made from beechwood and so it's also kinder to the environment than some fabrics due to its biodegradable properties.

We Use Recycled Packaging
Our packaging is made from recycled materials to reduce our carbon footprint. We also use biodegradable polybags and opt for a paperless shipment and returns policy.
OUR PARTNERSHIPS

One Tree Planted When You Shop With Us
Trees support the planet in many ways, from cleaning the air and mitigating carbon, to capturing rainwater and reducing the risk of natural disasters. We believe that every tree matters, which is why we've teamed up with One Tree Planted and pledge to plant a tree on your behalf every time you make a purchase.
One Tree Planted is a non-profit organisation that wants to make it easier for individuals and businesses to create a healthier climate. They work with reforestation partners across North America, South America, Asia and Africa. They aim to protect biodiversity and support reforestation efforts worldwide, which in the process, creates jobs, builds communities and protects habitats for biodiversity.
Since forming in 2014, One Tree Planted have planted over 40 million trees in more than 47 countries across the globe and more than doubled their impact in 2021 from the previous year, planting an incredible 23.5 million trees!

To ship our goods, we have enrolled on a carbon offsetting scheme with freight forwarder
Flexport.org. Flexport calculates the amount of CO2 our freight volume produces, so we can purchase carbon credits through
Carbonfund.org. These credits include converting landfill gas to energy, reducing deforestation emissions, and wind and electricity projects.
