Andie Co Sustainability Actions

Uses recycled swim fabrics

Andie says many of its swimsuits use recycled materials such as recycled nylon and recycled polyester. It explains that recycled nylon can come from old fishing lines and carpets, while recycled polyester can come from plastic waste like bottles. The brand also says these materials can lower emissions compared with making new plastic-based fabric. This matters because swimwear is usually made from synthetic fibres, which can stay in the environment for a long time.

Moved toward recycled packaging

A third-party article about the brand says Andie has been shipping in recycled polybags. Polybags are the plastic bags used to pack and protect clothing during shipping. Using recycled versions can reduce the need for new plastic. The same source says this was part of a wider effort to cut the brand’s shipping footprint, which means the pollution linked to getting products from factories to customers.

Gives care advice to extend life

Andie publishes care tips that tell customers to hand wash swimwear, use cold water, avoid fabric softener, and air dry pieces flat. It also warns that harsh washing can damage fabric and release microplastics, which are tiny plastic pieces that can end up in waterways. These tips are aimed at helping swimwear last longer and reducing wear and tear, which can lower waste over time.

Uses vendor conduct rules

A third-party article says Andie requires vendors to sign a Code of Conduct, which is a set of rules for supplier behaviour. The same source says the brand visits manufacturers in China and Sri Lanka through third-party audits, meaning outside checks, to look at safety, wages, and paid time off. It also says textile vendors must provide sustainability certifications for recyclable materials. These steps suggest some supply-chain oversight, although the brand does not publicly share the full details.
