Overview
A million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute and the number will jump another 20% by 2021. Abandoned plastic fishing nets are a significant part of the problem. Resulting in the entrapment and death of marine mammals, sea birds and fish. Upcycling Time! We want to inspire a sustainable and conscious lifestyle with a product that will both last for years to come as well as educate us of the power and relevance of recycling, helping us save the environment one step at a time

On a visit to Mexico two years ago, we discovered and fell in love with the recycling process. 

After realizing the great social impact we could have, we started recycling cotton: manufacturing towels, blankets, bathrobes, and ponchos. It was after receiving great feedback, that we decided to explore new materials and processes to up-cycle. Naturally this led us to complete our beach line.

After researching the vast array of plastics that contaminate our oceans and environment, such as fishing nets and single-use plastics, we established which waste could be reduced and recycled into new products. The most exciting result of this process is the high-quality fabric we can manufacture. Ultra soft, durable, water repellent and bi-stretch, for a better and more comfortable fit.

 

Beach shorts/trunks manufactured using 100% recycled plastics and an eco-friendly printing process. We pay attention to every little detail, from the fabric to the design inspired by travel, all the while keeping a keen eye on the latest fashion trends. This is how La Palma Beachwear was born.
 
 

 

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle are most common methods to reduce landfill waste. Landfill waste poses a huge problem as it has economic and environmental impact and secondly, due to slow decomposition rate which takes thousands of years, several acres of land has already been virtually rendered useless that could have been actually used for setting more green areas.
