Our swimwear is made of recycled ocean plastic - primarily the ghost nets thatfloat around the oceans, carried by the currents and killing thousands of marine animals in their path. By using the nylon that the dangerous ghost nets are made of, our production demands far less energy and resources than the process of producing virgin nylon.

The use of ghost nets to create our swimwear has a larger impact on the planet than you might think. It reduces the amount of plastic in our oceans. It saves our beautiful marine life. And by using recycled ocean plastic, we spare the planets precious resources and minimize our overall carbon footprint.

We use GOTS certified organic cotton for our CC Casual unisex tracksuits.

Organic cotton is a natural, renewable and biodegradable fibre and is an environmentally friendly alternative to regular cotton. The toxic pesticides, fertilizers and chemicals used to grow regular cotton have some of the highest levels of toxicity known to mankind, and harm the planets air, water and soil. The production of organic cotton relies on none of those chemicals and use 88%less water than regular cotton, reducing the pressure on the planets water supplies.

GOTS isa global textile production certificate and is internationally recognized as the highest organic textile standard. It is also the toughest to achieve because it goes beyond verifying the organic farming process and includes every step of manufacturing. To obtain the GOTS certificate, a product must contain at least 95% organic fibres, and may not be treated with toxic bleaches, dyes and other chemical inputs during the production process of textiles. Furthermore, it enforces strict social and environmental standards, treating both people and the planet with respect.

We use a biobased, biodegradable and recyclable plastic called Eco Acetate Cellulose in our CC Extra sunglass collection.

Plastic is considered to be biobased (biologically synthesized) if it is produced from biologically sourced polymers and from natural origins. This material is a natural compound which is derived from fibres in cotton or wood pulp.

Plastic is considered biodegradable if it can degrade into water, carbon dioxide and biomass within a given time frame. While the words “biobased plastic” and “biodegradable plastic” are similar, they are not synonymous. Not all bio-based plastics are biodegradable.

Eco Acetate Cellulose is one of the most environmentally friendly materials to produce sunglasses of for several reasons; In terms of durability, performance, strength and comfort, there really is no comparison to cheap traditional plastic frames. It is also hypoallergenic, meaning you can wear them all day without irritating your skin.

Using recycled nylon is dramatically better for the planet, because the production demands far less energy and resources than the process of producing virgin nylon. It also creates up to 80% less CO2 emissionsthan virgin nylon, because unlike virgin nylon, recycled nylon does not require new petroleum when created, lowering the demand for new petroleum extraction.And by using recycled nylon we spare the planets precious resources and minimize our overall carbon footprint.

Because the recycling process reconstitutes the fibres on a molecular level, there is no difference between recycled nylon and virgin nylon in terms of performance and durability, and recycled nylon offers the same benefits, including high strength and functional versatility. The differences lie in the manufacturing process: Using recycled nylon has a MUCH lower environmental impact than traditional nylon.
