WHY ORGANIC ELASTIC TAPES?
Sustainability at Core: Our organic elastic tapes are crafted from a blend of cotton and natural rubber, chosen meticulously for their natural origins and minimal environmental footprint. This choice reflects our broader commitment to utilizing materials that are renewable, have a lower impact on the planet, and support sustainable agriculture and production methods.
Biodegradability: In an industry often criticized for its waste and environmental degradation, SEASICK SWIM takes a step forward with materials that give back to the earth. When our swimwear reaches the end of its lifecycle and is returned to us, we ensure the complete biodegradation of these organic tapes within six weeks, leaving no trace behind, just nutrients for the soil.
A Circular Approach: The inclusion of organic elastic tapes in our swimwear collection is a crucial component of our closed-loop system. By designing for disassembly, we ensure that each part of our swimwear, including the elastic tapes, can be either biodegraded or recycled, reinforcing our commitment to a zero-waste future.
THE JOURNEY OF OUR ELASTIC TAPES
Ethical Sourcing: The cotton used in our organic elastic tapes is sourced from farms in Turkey practicing sustainable agriculture, ensuring that the production process conserves water, enhances soil health, and protects biodiversity. The natural rubber is harvested in Malaysia with respect for the environment and the well-being of the rubber tree plantations' communities.
Eco-Friendly Production: The manufacturing process of our organic elastic tapes is designed to minimize energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions. By selecting production partners who share our vision and commitment to sustainability, we ensure that our impact on the planet is positive throughout our supply chain.
Designed for the Future: In creating swimwear that is both beautiful and environmentally responsible, we consider the lifecycle of every component. Our organic elastic tapes not only provide the functional benefits of flexibility and durability but also ensure that the environmental ethos of SEASICK SWIM is woven into the very fabric of our products.
