Earth-loving swimwear with a botanical twist

June 03, 2022

Since the 1950s, Marimekko's dream has been to empower people to be happy just as they are. Marimekko has just launched its first sustainable swimwear collection.

Great to see this new collection of sustainable swimwear by Marimekko, made using ECONYL®. It reduces the global warming impact of nylon by up to 90% compared with traditional nylon.

Earth-loving swimwear with a botanical twist

Earth-loving ECONYL® fiber

ECONYL® fiber is recycled nylon waste. It’s similar to standard nylon and can be recycled again at the end of its life.

The circularity starts by rescuing waste, like fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring, and industrial plastic from all over the world. The waste is then sorted and cleaned to recover all of the nylon possible. 

The nylon waste is recycled back to its original purity through a regeneration and purification process. ECONYL® recycled nylon is processed into yarns and polymers for the fashion and interior industries, and it has the potential to be recycled infinitely, without losing its quality.

‘Positive change through fairness and equality’
