At BUNKS, the ocean is more than just our inspiration. It is our responsibility. From the coral reefs to the open sea, marine environments are some of the most beautiful and fragile ecosystems on Earth. Yet they are under increasing threat from plastic pollution, climate change, and overconsumption.
As a brand that creates swimwear for people who love the water, we know we have a duty to help protect it. That is why we are proud to be part of the SEAQUAL Initiative, a global community that works to clean the oceans and give new life to marine plastic waste.
What Is SEAQUAL® YARN?
SEAQUAL® YARN is an innovative, high-quality polyester fibre made from upcycled marine plastic. This includes plastic waste collected from oceans, rivers, beaches, and estuaries. Through the SEAQUAL Initiative, this waste is sorted, cleaned, and transformed into yarn, which can then be used to create eco-conscious fabrics.
Our latest swim shorts are made using SEAQUAL® YARN, combining performance, comfort, and sustainability. You get the same premium fit and feel you expect from BUNKS, with the added benefit of helping to reduce plastic pollution in our oceans.
Why Sustainable Swimwear Matters
Plastic pollution is one of the biggest threats to ocean health. Every year, millions of tonnes of plastic end up in the sea, where it breaks down into microplastics that harm marine life and enter the food chain. By choosing to make our swim trunks with SEAQUAL® YARN, we are actively supporting the circular economy and helping to turn waste into a valuable resource.
Sustainable swimwear is not just about materials. It is about the entire product lifecycle. From design to packaging, we strive to reduce our impact at every step.
Thoughtful Details: From Packaging to Tags
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond the fabric. All BUNKS garment packaging is 100 percent biodegradable, meaning it breaks down naturally without harming the planet. We also use eco-friendly swing tags that can be reused as luggage labels. Small choices make a big difference, and we want every part of our product to serve a purpose.
Swimwear That Gives Back to the Planet
We believe that great swimwear should do more than just look good. It should stand for something. With BUNKS, you are not only investing in timeless style and comfort, but also in a cleaner, healthier planet.
Our journey towards sustainability is ongoing, and we are constantly exploring new ways to reduce waste, cut emissions, and support the protection of our oceans. Whether you are heading to the beach, the pool, or your next holiday, you can feel good knowing that your BUNKS are part of something bigger.
