Salty Swimwear Sustainability Actions

Uses recycled swimwear fabrics

Using only recycled fabrics, the move to Repreve assured us that the result was possible and beneficial in all departments. The material is formed from recycled plastic bottles. Carvico is another sourced product Salty uses, this particular material is a sustainable techno-fabric, made of a ECONYL® regenerated nylon that turns waste problems into every day fashion items, or, in our case, summer wear and beach essentials.

Uses biodegradable packaging

Packaging plays an important part in the final stages of production, the packaging we choose to use not only protects the swimwear that is being delivered door to door. The bio degrable packs are protecting the environment from toxic waste which could potentially end up in our beloved oceans and landfill. All pieces are quality controlled before packed in bio-cassava bags that can be used later in home compost and used as plant fertiliser.

Ships in compostable packs

The journey for your new salty swimwear is then posted via comPOST packs that are made from 100% biodegradable and compostable materials. Dispatched globally, each consumer has then practiced sustainable shopping by purchasing with our small business.

Hand made in Bali

The full production process is carefully implemented with Bek’s right hand man, Epol, who is located in Bali, Indonesia. Epol hand makes every garment from the comfort of his home.

Founded as a sustainable label

By 2018, teaching was no longer on my mind, I then decided to pack my bags and move to Bali full time to pursue the brand creator dream. As the production team was located there it meant my full time attention and focus could be redirected on Salty. Moving to the island where salty was being created gave me the chance to dive in further, create faster and expand the brand within the community offline and online. There I was able to work remotely with some beautiful mummy bloggers and build a sustainable swimwear label.
