Did you know that most conventional swimsuits are made of virgin nylon and polyester (aka plastic that’s not biodegradable)? But you can minimize your carbon footprint this summer by shopping from eco-friendly swimwear brands. Trust us, the pieces are just as cute (if not, cuter), and you can feel good about what you’re wearing.

Check out our favorite eco-friendly swimwear lines below:

GREENLEE swim™

Designed and manufactured in Los Angeles, California, GREENLEE swim™ was founded in 2012 by Casey Greenlee with the mission to provide high-end, sustainable swimwear. The collection features modern designs and various colors, shapes, and styles, making it easy to mix and match.

Underprotection

Underprotection swimsuits are made from recycled polyester and certified with The Global Recycle Standard, so the brand is completely transparent when it comes to environmental and social responsibilities in their factories. The company prides itself on an honest and transparent work environment.
