Switched to compostable packaging

The brand says it replaced plastic-poly bags with compostable cornstarch packaging. It explains that these bags are meant to break down in a few months and are designed to help keep plastic out of the ocean. The brand also says the material needs no chemical coatings and uses food-grade byproducts that would otherwise go unused. This is presented as a way to reduce plastic waste during shipping and delivery.

Uses recycled fabric offcuts

The brand says it uses 100% recycled cotton yarn off-cuts and leftovers to make new fabric. It says this recycled material makes up over 60% of its tees. In plain terms, that means fabric scraps from earlier production are reworked into new clothing instead of being thrown away. The brand presents this as a way to cut waste and reduce the need for more water-heavy cotton.

Uses plant-based wetsuit material

The brand says it has removed petrochemicals from its wetsuits and now makes them with Yulex, a plant-based alternative to neoprene. Neoprene is the common foam used in wetsuits, and it usually comes from fossil fuels. The brand presents this change as a lower-impact material choice for its surf gear.

Checks factory conditions

The brand says its main factory in Bangladesh has a garment licence approved by local government authorities and that the site is audited by independent audit firms and its own staff in Bangladesh. It also says it wants products made in a safe place free of animal cruelty and child labour, and that none of its products or garment dyes are tested on animals. This gives some basic information about labour and animal welfare controls, although the content does not include a full supplier list.

Supports beach clean-up charity

Through its Critical Change program, the brand says it partners with Take 3 for the Sea. This group asks beachgoers to take home three pieces of rubbish from beaches and waterways. The brand presents this as part of its effort to support environmental awareness and cleaner coastal areas.
