Wetsuit repair and recycling

The brand material highlights repair and end-of-life recycling as key ways to cut waste. One example says old wetsuits can be repaired to extend their life, and when they can no longer be used, they can be recycled into rubber floor matting for places like play areas and gyms. This matters because wetsuits are hard to recycle and often end up in landfill. Repairing them first helps keep products in use for longer and reduces the need for new raw materials.

Uses lower-impact materials

The content describes several material choices that can reduce environmental harm in wetsuits. These include natural plant-based rubber, recycled polyester yarns, and eco carbon black, which is made from used car tyres. It also mentions water-based lamination glue, which avoids the solvent-based glues that can release harmful fumes called volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. These changes are meant to lower pollution, reduce fossil-fuel use, and make production safer for workers.

Solar-powered manufacturing

The material says some wetsuits are made in a solar-powered facility. Using solar energy can reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower the carbon footprint of manufacturing. The same source also says the company recycles cardboard and paper used in shipping, and avoids single-use plastic packaging. These steps are aimed at cutting waste and reducing the impact of getting products from the factory to the customer.

Community donations

The content says the brand donates part of sales from its natural rubber wetsuit range to environmental and community groups. It also says some products give 100% of profits to charity. Examples named in the material include Greening Australia and Surf Aid. These donations are not a substitute for reducing product impact, but they do show a link between sales and support for conservation and community work.
