At first glance the swimwear from Eco-Panda looks fun and flirty, but not so different from any other bikinis on the beach. In fact, you’d never guess that these swimsuits are made from recycled fishing nets!
The brand takes the recycled nylon fibers from the used fishing nets and blends them with Creora Chlorine resistant spandex to make its colorful eco-friendly swimsuits. As these swimmers come from a material made for the ocean, it makes sense that they’re said to last ten times longer than the average set of spandex bathers. Green warriors may also be interested to note that Eco-Panda’s recycled nylon uses 27% less natural petroleum resources and emits 28% less greenhouse gases than the average during manufacturing.
Eco-Panda’s collection includes halter, bandeau, and classic styled bikinis alongside one-piece swimsuits and beach cover-ups. The styles are fairly modest, which will disappoint fans of skimpy Brazilian swimwear, but they are modern and fun. I also like that we can choose between a two-piece set of differently sized tops and bottoms, or buy the bikini pieces as separates.
If you love the range, make sure you sign up for a free VIP account. You’ll receive a 25% discount on all swimwear, and earn points to be used on future purchases. That makes the already affordably priced bathers even more attainable. Bikini sets start at just $29 from the Eco-Panda online store.
