Isla Rosa Swim: Ethical & Sustainable
We deeply care for our environment and are always looking for ways to provide completely sustainable and ethically made swimwear.
Our first and definitely not the last action in achieving this was choosing a manufacturer that exceeds the minimum labour standards and one that also cares for our environment.
Ethical manufacturing practices, this is so important to us. Our manufacturer pays all their staff above average wages. Their staff also negotiate their own contracts and salaries, are provided with comprehensive health insurance, a profit sharing scheme which is paid yearly, and opportunities for capacity building and personal development.
Great working conditions aren’t enough and we’re not stopping there. Here are a few of Isla Rosa Swim’s efforts in reducing harm to our environment:
- We have started to integrate recycled fabrics into our products. Our new collection turns waste problems like fishing nets, plastic bottles, and straws into a regenerated nylon called Econyl.
- All our prints including the label heat pressed on the first collection, are made of eco-ink.
- We use recycled paper hygiene liners instead of plastic.
- Your purchased swimwear will come with a reusable cotton bag.
- Your purchased swimwear will be delivered in a recyclable packaging.
- A percentage of every bikini made with us is donated to River Ocean, Land and Ecology Foundation whose vision includes zero waste to oceans and sustainable businesses for coastal communities.
Every time you support our brand, or you tell your friends to, you’re also supporting what matters to us. So to you who has already purchased, and to you who’s planning to buy Isla Rosa Swim, on behalf of our manufacturer’s workers, coastal communities, and Mother Nature, thank you!
