SUSTAINABILITY AT ELIDI SWIM
At ELIDI Swim, we care deeply for our beautiful planet and we are are actively taking steps to minimise our environmental footprint as much as possible. Unfortunately, no fashion business can be 100% sustainable, but we are proud of the steps we have taken so far and will continue to take in the future to ensure we are working with mother earth, not against her.
WHAT WE ARE DOING
⟡ ETHICAL PRODUCTION
We drop in limited quantities, and not often. We stand proud as a slow fashion brand and strive to create pieces which will last you for summers to come. We are committed to designing and creating flattering cuts, timeless prints, colours and high-quality designs. All of our styles are created with longevity in mind to ensure your pieces will effortlessly transcend seasons.
⟡ OUR FABRICS
We use OEKO-TEX and GRS certified Repreve and Carvico fabrics that don't compromise on quality or comfort, to create every range. These fabrics are eco-friendly and made from recycled materials, such as fishing nets, industrial plastic, and post-consumer plastic bottles. By using sustainable fabrics, we are reducing our carbon footprint and minimizing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and oceans. The dyes used in the fabrics are also certified environmentally friendly.
⟡ OUR PACKAGING
We are not receiving our goods from the manufacturer in polybags. We have completely eliminated the use of polybags to reduce unnecessary packaging and waste, which is almost unheard of in this industry. All of our products are packaged in recycled tissue paper created using environmentally safe inks, and posted using compostable mailers that provide the same protection as a typical plastic mailer but break down fully within 120 days. We encourage composting them at home where possible, but if they end up in landfill, they will not leave harmful plastics in the environment.
Our hangtags and liners are also made from recycled materials, and able to be recycled at end of their life cycle. From production to end packaging, we aim to be as plastic-free as possible!
⟡ CONSUMER USE
The environmental impact doesn't end when the product leaves ELIDI Swim HQ! The way the swimwear is used and treated significantly affects its lifespan. All of our products are provided with care instructions to improve longevity and we encourage our customers to give the highest care to their pieces.
⟡ ZERO WASTE
At Elidi Swim, we are aiming to become fully circular, with a closed loop. We actively encourage you to share your much loved pieces with friends and pass them on or re-sell them when you are finished with them.
⟡ $1 FOR OUR PLANET
To continue looking after our oceans, land and people, $1 of every purchase will be donated to a great cause. Where you spend your money can make a difference. Together we can create change! See more here.
We understand that we are not perfect, and recognise that sustainability is a journey, not a destination. Our journey towards sustainability and a better future is one that will continuously evolve. We are constantly looking for ways to improve and create a positive impact.
Your support means the world to us, and we hope that when you purchase Elidi Swim you know that you are contributing to a more sustainable future. We believe that by making sustainable choices, we can create a better future for ourselves and for the planet!
