Heatseeker Wetsuits Sustainability Commitments
2025
Shift to fully recycled poly bags
One source says the company plans to move to 100% recycled poly bags in 2025. Poly bags are the thin plastic bags used to wrap products during shipping. Switching to recycled content can reduce demand for new plastic, although it does not remove plastic use altogether.

Launch reclaimed-carbon wetsuits
Patagonia-related reporting says the first wetsuits using reclaimed BolderBlack are expected to go on sale in spring 2025. BolderBlack is recovered carbon black, a material made from old rubber scraps and used in dyeing and foam. This is a future product launch tied to circular design, where old products are turned into new ones.
2026
Move toward full circularity
One brand source says it wants to evolve into a fully circular business model for all products. Circularity means keeping materials in use for as long as possible through repair, reuse, and recycling instead of throwing them away. The source does not give a firm end year for reaching this goal, so it is best read as a long-term direction rather than a fixed deadline.
