At Little Jellies, we have chosen to make our bathers using recycled nylon. It is not only soft and stretchy, but also good for the environment too.
Durability and Quality
When it comes to children's swimwear, durability is essential. Kids are often in and out of the water, playing hard and swimming frequently, so their swimwear needs to hold up. Recycled nylon offers the same strength, elasticity, and resistance to chlorine and saltwater as conventional nylon. This means that swimwear made from recycled nylon will last just as long, even after multiple trips to the pool or beach.
Comfort and Style
Children’s swimwear needs to be comfortable, and recycled nylon fits the bill. The fabric is soft, quick-drying, and breathable, ensuring that kids can stay comfortable while they swim, play, or build sandcastles. At Little Jellies, we print on a white recycled nylon so the world is our oyster when it comes to choosing colours and patterns to use. As a result, we don’t have to compromise on fashion to make an environmentally conscious choice.
The Bigger Picture: A Step Toward Circular Fashion
The use of recycled nylon in children’s swimwear is part of a larger movement toward circular fashion, a system where products are designed to be reused, recycled, or repurposed, rather than thrown away. Many swimwear brands are now committed to using recycled materials, reducing waste, and ensuring that their products are made with a focus on longevity.
The ultimate goal is to create a closed-loop system in which clothing can be fully recycled at the end of its life cycle, further minimizing the need for new resources. As the technology behind recycling improves, it’s likely that more and more companies will embrace this sustainable approach, leading to a significant reduction in textile waste and pollution.
Conclusion: Swimwear That’s Better for the Planet
Recycled nylon offers a practical and sustainable solution for children’s bathers. Not only does it help reduce waste and conserve resources, but it also provides durable, high-quality fabric that kids can enjoy wearing while swimming, playing, and exploring.
By choosing swimwear made from recycled nylon, parents and caregivers can make a positive environmental impact while ensuring their children have stylish, comfortable, and eco-friendly options for their aquatic adventures. As sustainability continues to grow in importance, embracing recycled materials in children’s swimwear is a step in the right direction for both families and the planet.
