Give Your Swimwear a Second Life: Our Recycling Initiative
We're passionate about reducing clothing waste and finding sustainable solutions for your swimwear. Initially, we ran a direct recycling program, but we were genuinely shocked by the sheer volume of swimwear we received – and from all over the world! We even had pieces sent to us with the tags still on, which really highlighted the problem of overconsumption. We quickly realised that the amount of shipping involved was counterproductive to our sustainability goals. So, we've made it easy for you to give your old pieces a second life by connecting you directly with established charities and recycling centres. By cutting out the middleman, we're minimising shipping and getting your swimwear directly into the hands of those who can make the most of it.
How to Recycle Your Swimwear:
Not in the UK?
While free global textile recycling options with individual shipping are limited, there are still many ways to sustainably dispose of your unwanted clothing. We recommend checking these options:
- Local Council Recycling: Please check with your local council, as many councils globally offer free textile recycling programs. Search online for your 'city/country textile recycling' to find local options.
- Local Charity Shops and Donation Centres: Donate reusable clothing to local charity shops or donation centres in your area.
- Clothing Swaps and Online Marketplaces: Consider organising clothing swaps with friends or using online marketplaces to sell or trade your unwanted clothing.
