Sustainable development is one of the most concerned topics

Sustainable development is one of the most concerned topics in the world right now, thus sustainable swimwear has become one of the most popular and searched fashion terms in the swimwear industry for the coming years.

Just like everything else, swimwear should make us feel comfortable and confident—and it doesn't hurt if it is sustainable, too. After all, swimsuits are often made out of materials like polyester, spandex, and nylon that are non-biodegradable and shed microfibers composed of really tiny pieces of plastic with every wash. Sadly, these microfibers end up in our oceans, harming marine life and disrupting the entire ecosystem. Therefore, the development of sustainable swimwear is an important step to improve the global environment. Swimwear Manufacturer China

Sustainable swimwear, unlike traditional swimwear, is made from recycled fibers by people paid fair wages in safe conditions. Recycled fibers normally have recycled nylon and recycled polyester. Recycled nylon is usually made from pre-consumer fabric waste, although it also may come from post-consumer materials such as industrial fishing nets.

Like traditional polyester, recycled polyester is a man-made fabric produced from synthetic fibers, and it is makes use of existing plastic, those existing plastics are from old water bottles. The process to make recycled polyester fabric is quite simple as below:

Step 1: Collect plastic bottles;

Step 2: Chop into fake;

Step 3: Turn into pellets;

Step 4: Blend flake and pellets to make polyester fiber;

Step 5: Blend with transitional cotton;

Step 6: Spin into yarn;

Step 7: Knit into fabric;

Compared the cost, recycled nylon is more expensive than recycled polyester as the raw material of fishing nets is not plentiful as water bottles. The MOQ for recycled nylon is also higher than recycled polyester. But with huge requirement from the market, a lot of research is currently being conducted to improve the quality and reduce the costs of the recycling nylon process. Sport Swimwear Supplier China
