Like you, our shorts are amphibious, meaning they are equally at home underwater or on land. Whether you’re running, biking, diving into a weekend project or the deep end of the pool, these versatile hip huggers will keep up.

Made from post-consumer bottles AND old textiles through our Take-Back Program. We collect your old clothes, put them in a wood chipper (joking…kinda), and convert them into fiber, then fabric, then back into brand new clothing. Because textile waste comes in different colors, the resulting recycled fiber ends up looking brown, like a child finger-painting with ALL the colors at once kind of brown. Yuk! To fix this mess, the fibers are dyed black during the recycling process.

Apparel that supports textile recycling

According to the EPA, 87% of apparel textiles are not recycled annually in the United States, meaning millions of tons of old clothes are piled into landfills every year. While recycling infrastructure exists for things like plastic bottles and aluminum cans, textile recycling is far less developed and accessible. This is a missed opportunity because the raw materials within some kinds of clothing (like ours!) can be used to create entirely new fabric, as long as it’s done carefully. By purchasing products made from recycled textiles, you are financially supporting the infrastructure that enables recycling to happen and signaling to manufacturers that you value circularity.

Waste is shredded, combined with recycled plastic bottle flake, and enters a unique material conversion process to create resin.

Resin is formed. Along the way, black dye is added (using an efficient process that uses no water) to standardize the color of the result.

Resin is melted and made into yarn, to be spun into fabric, then cut and sewn back into clothing.

In the world of environmentally responsible fabrics, we think there are two clear leaders from an end-of-life perspective: those that are entirely made from natural fibers, and those made entirely of synthetic fibers. 100% natural fabrics like organic cotton are beneficial because they are biodegradable and recyclable, while 100% synthetic fabrics are beneficial because they are recyclable. Fabrics that blend natural and synthetic fibers together are not currently biodegradable or recyclable with today’s technology, which is why we don’t make them.

Your purchase supports our Textile Take-Back Program

The fabric used in this product is created from UNIFI’s Textile Takeback process, a program that converts discarded fabric into new, traceable raw materials. By partnering with other textile businesses and collecting your used Waterlust garments through our Take-Back Program, we’re able to divert fabric from the landfill and take another step towards manufacturing circularity. Programs like these only work if people like you participate, so when your Waterlust gear gets old, send it back to us for recycling.
