Reclaim the Tide

We’re working to reduce our footprint by sourcing more sustainable, organic and recycled materials for our products.

Organic Cotton

Our organic cotton is produced without the use of toxic chemicals or dyes and uses less water, making it better for your health, and planet Earth.

Recycled Nylon

Nylon is a synthetic fiber that doesn’t’ break down easily and accounts for about 10% of ocean debris. More than 600,000 tons of fishing gear is dumped into oceans every year, including nylon nets. Our goal is to repurpose this discarded nylon that’s disturbing our ocean’s ecosystems and turn it into something purposeful. We use 100% post-consumer recyclables to create the nylon fibers used in our products.

Coconut Husks

The process of using discarded coconut husks by blending the husk fibers with polyester into the perfect yarn. Naturally taking on great performance features like moisture wicking, UV protection, stretch & water repellency.

Hemp

Our initiative to be more sustainable wouldn’t be complete without the use of hemp. Hemp grows with less water consumption, puts 60-70% of the nutrients back into the soil and has higher yield than cotton. Hemp fibers are known to be the strongest natural fibers, so it lasts longer than cotton.

100% Post-consumer recycled by 2023

We’ve eliminated 600k pieces of tissue paper annually. All polybags, tissue & sport shirt packaging trims are 100% post-consumer recycled quality. By 2023 we will fully shift all hangtags and woven garment labels to 100% post-consumer recycled qualities.
