LET'S TAKE CARE OF OUR PLAYGROUND

SUSTAINABILITY

PROJECT GREEN

When we catch a wave or snowboard through fresh powder, we feel incredibly close to nature. Although nature still gives us so much joy, we also see that this playground, our home, is under threat. Every winter, we see glaciers shrink and unfortunately, we also know what it’s like to surf in plastic soup.

More than ever, we appreciate all what mother earth has to offer and we feel the responsibility to take care of this playground. Therefore, we try to do as much as possible, as a company, to work more sustainable and minimize our impact on the environment.

 Every year, we aim to develop our collections greener than before and we try to work as much as possible with sustainable resources. We have looked into every single detail of our work processes and found solutions to reduce, reuse and recycle. 

REDUCE

We limit our carbon footprint and reduce the use of irresponsible materials as much as possible. We reduce the use of water and chemicals in our production processes, the amount of samples, the amount of hang tags on each product, shipments by combining deliveries as much as possible, and so on.

RE-USE

Reusing materials involves our whole supply chain. We reuse cardboard boxes coming from our suppliers in our logistic centre, but also reuse left-over fabrics or materials, such as zippers, in our production processes.   

RECYCLE

Recycling involves every aspect in our businesses. More than 63% of our collection is now made from recycled materials. But we also recycle boxes in our warehouse, use recycled materials in our packaging and recycle paper waste at our office.

OUR PRODUCT

Every year, we aim to develop our collections greener than before and we try to work as much as possible with sustainable resources. We have looked into every single detail of our work processes and found solutions to reduce, reuse and recycle.

We choose low-impact and responsibly sourced materials

We give a product a sustainable label when the main fabric/source of a product is made from sustainable material. This also means that the main fabric, organic cotton or recycled polyester/polyamide in our case, should be at least 50% of the total product.

Swim- and snow wear are our main product groups, so we will have a closer look upon these categories:

Swimwear

All mix and match bikinis are made from recycled polyester, and most bikini paddings contain a certified OEKOTEX label. 

9% of the total SS23 collection
65% contains a recycled material

Snowwear

The majority of our snow jackets and snow pants has a recycled insulation. Also focus is to increase the percentage of using a recycled outer shell.

58% of the total FW22 collection 
35% contains recycled material and recycled padding 
71% contains recycled padding

Swimshorts and Boardshorts

All boardshorts are made from recycled polyester and the CrunECO, our best-selling short, which is available in more than 18 colours is made from recycled sources.

54% of the total SS23 collection
99% contains a recycled material
