We are working closely with our suppliers to reduce the harmful effects used in the manufacture of wetsuits, here are a few things helping to reach that goal.

 

 LIMESTONE_NEOPRENE  

LIMESTONE NEOPRENE

We use limestone to replace petrochemicals in our neoprene, it has less environmental impact.

 CARBON-BLK  

ECO CARBON BLACK

Carbon Black, one of the key ingredients of neoprene, can now be pyrolyzed from scrap rubber tyres. This significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts CO2 emissions by 200g per wetsuit.

 AQUA-ALFA  

AQUA ALFA GLUE

Many of our suits use this water based glue eliminating harmful volatile organic compounds.

 DOPE-DYED  

DOPE-DYED YARN

Dope-dying infuses dye pigments into molten plastic solution to produce coloured yarns without the dyeing process. This saves huge amounts of water, reduces energy consumption and water pollution. We are working to include this method wherever possible.

100% COMPOSTABLE BAGS

Most of the bag we use to protect our products during transport are made from plants which means they are completely compostable.
