How swimwear can be sustainable?
Consider the materials used to make the swimsuit. Look for materials that are recycled, regenerative, and renewable, such as Econyl recycled nylon. Check the certification of the swimsuit.

Sustainable swimwear often lasts longer than its synthetic plastic counterparts, helping to reduce the amount of waste generated over time.
