Zulu & Zephyr Sustainability Actions

Uses recycled fabrics

Zulu & Zephyr says it uses recycled fabrics and recycled nylon to cut its use of new fossil-fuel-based materials. It links this to lower emissions and less plastic and nylon waste going to landfill and the ocean. The brand also says some of its swimwear uses REPREVE®, a recycled fibre made from plastic bottles, and ECONYL®, a regenerated nylon made from waste such as fishing nets and carpets.

Launched fully recycled swim

The brand says its Signatures swim and Mini collections include its first fully recycled swimwear. It describes these pieces as being made entirely from recycled fibres. This is meant to reduce the footprint of the product compared with conventional swimwear materials. The brand also says the collection uses planet-friendly fabrics and biodegradable packaging.

Published supplier code

Zulu & Zephyr has a Supplier Code of Conduct for its suppliers and manufacturers. It says the code follows the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code, which is built on International Labour Organization rules. The code covers wages, safe working conditions, working hours, no forced labour, no child labour, and freedom of association. It also asks suppliers to share information on materials and country of origin so the brand can improve traceability.

Uses certified materials

The brand says it uses REPREVE® with Global Recycled Standard (GRS, a certification for recycled content and chain of custody) traceability and Standard 100 certification, and it says metal hardware on swimwear and denim is made to Oeko-Tex® 100 Standard, which checks that harmful substances are not present in the finished product. It also says some cover-ups use organic cotton.

Uses recyclable packaging

Zulu & Zephyr says its packaging is designed to be recycled or composted. It says woven labels are made from recycled polyester, swing tickets use FSC-approved paper stock, hygiene labels are made from bioplastic, and online orders use biodegradable poly bags and recycled paper mailers. The brand also says this reduces virgin raw material use and plastic waste.

Supports charities and NGOs

The brand says it has long supported charitable causes. It also says it is a member of 1% for the Planet, a group where members donate a share of sales to environmental non-profits. In one product story, it says a portion of Signature swim sales goes to environmental non-profits. It also mentions support for ocean-focused groups such as Seabin Project through parts of its supply chain.
