REPREVE is a recycled fibre, containing recycled materials such as plastic bottles. It is made by combining post-consumer waste (used plastic bottles) and post-industrial waste such as fabrics that would otherwise be, such as scraps. The fabric is of a high quality, that looks good, feels soft and is comfortable, while remaining 100% sustainable.

 What makes Eco Swim different from other brands?
Eco Swim by Aqua Green is committed to developing eco-friendly swimsuits using innovative technology during the entire process from sourcing raw materials, to manufacturing, to the tags we use on our suits.
What are your suits made from?
All Eco Swim products are made from recycled materials such as water bottles, fishing nets, and plastic bags, in an energy efficient process. Our woven labels are made from recycled polyester, and our linings are made from recycled fabric derived from post consumer waste. All of our fabrics are made from recycled nylon, polyester, and cotton. Even our bra cups are made from Eco Cell foam, a biodegradable material made from plant oils and recycled materials, eliminating the petroleum oil based foams of the polluted past.
