Protect the ocean so it can protect us

Our future is tied to the ocean. Its shared seas connect us through food, culture and sport. The home of amazing, abundant life, it’s also a powerful climate solution. Yet the practice of bottom trawling threatens to destroy this precious resource—bulldozing our ocean floor, undermining small-scale fisheries and deepening the climate crisis. Let's end this destructive practice, starting with an immediate ban in marine protected areas and inshore zones.

Elastan

Elastan provides significant strength and elasticity and is fast drying.

Why

Elastan, also known as elastane or Lycra®, is an elastic polymer (a type of plastic) first invented by DuPont in 1958. Elastan makes garments and trims stretchy, which allows for them to be form fitting, and provide freedom of movement.

Where We Are

Elastan is a critical ingredient in our products. We have recently experimented with pre-consumer recycled versions (using scraps from elastan that has already been made) in our garments, but it will likely be one of our last materials to be completely converted to a non-virgin source. Although critical to the performance of our final products, elastan is a material we use the least when compared to all our other materials; think of a jacket with stretch—the elastan may be 8% or 9% of the total fabric package. Instead, we’re focusing on making big moves to convert heavily used fabrics (like cotton, nylon and polyester) to recycled, first.

What’s Next

We are actively looking for elastan alternatives that help provide function and are recyclable. We are investigating non-virgin sources for elastane, including recycled and bio-based versions, and we’re exploring bio-based alternatives and new polymers that are less impactful.
