OS Swim Sustainability Actions

Uses recycled swim fabrics

OS Swim says its swimwear is made with recycled materials, including ECONYL (a regenerated nylon made from waste like fishing nets and fabric scraps). The brand presents this as a way to cut waste and reduce the need for virgin plastic-based fabric. Recycled nylon is still a synthetic material, so it is not the same as a natural fibre, but it can give old plastic a second life and lower the impact of making new nylon.

Plans a business impact audit

The brand says it wants to create a baseline for its global business impacts and understand the carbon cost of its operations. It also says it will look at Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, which are direct emissions, energy-related emissions, and other indirect emissions across the supply chain. This kind of review is usually the first step before setting targets or making changes.

Gives 1% of sales to causes

OS Swim says it gives 1% of all sales, not profits, to environmental causes through 1% for the Planet, a membership group where companies commit part of their revenue to approved environmental work. The brand frames this as a way to link sales growth with support for environmental projects.

Focuses on product longevity

The brand’s sustainability messaging also points to making swimwear that lasts longer. Longer-lasting clothing can reduce waste because people replace items less often. In swimwear, this matters because sun, salt water, chlorine, and washing can wear fabrics down quickly. OS Swim presents durability as part of its sustainability approach.

Uses cleaner packaging

OS Swim says it uses plastic-free or lower-waste packaging for its products. Packaging is a smaller part of a product’s footprint than fabric, but it still matters because single-use plastic and excess material create waste. The brand presents packaging changes as part of its wider effort to reduce unnecessary impact.

Supports beach clean-ups

The brand says it takes part in beach and location clean-ups. Clean-ups do not solve the root causes of pollution, but they can remove litter from coastlines and raise awareness about waste in marine areas. This fits with the brand’s wider focus on ocean-related environmental action.
