Our oceans cover over 70% of the Earth and are essential to life on our planet, supporting a wide array of marine species, regulating our climate, and providing countless resources. Unfortunately, these environments are also fragile and increasingly threatened by pollution, particularly plastic waste. Around 8 million tonnes of plastic end up in our oceans annually, impacting marine life from sea turtles to coral reefs and even affecting the fish we consume. At BUNKS, we’re committed to playing a part in protecting these vital ecosystems by creating swimwear with minimal environmental impact.
To reduce our footprint, we’ve obtained a SEAQUAL INITIATIVE licence, ensuring that our latest prints are crafted from SEAQUAL® yarn, a fabric made from upcycled marine plastic. SEAQUAL yarn not only has the durability and comfort our customers expect but also embodies our commitment to sustainable, ocean-friendly production. By choosing SEAQUAL, we help support the removal of plastic waste from the ocean, transforming it into a high-quality material that aligns with our values and our customers’ values.
Our sustainability journey doesn’t stop at the trunks themselves; every detail in our product packaging has been considered. Each item is wrapped in biodegradable packaging, avoiding unnecessary plastics that would otherwise contribute to waste. Our swing tags are also designed to be repurposed as luggage labels, encouraging reuse rather than disposal.
Choosing BUNKS trunks means choosing a product made with care, not only for the quality of your swimwear but for the health of our oceans. Together, we can make a meaningful impact by supporting sustainable practices that protect these precious environments.
