Italian CARVICO®

Carvico, is the world’s largest manufacturer of plain-dyed swimwear fabrics. We work with their Vita & Renew ranges using both Polyester & Nylon yarns obtained from ECONYL® in Italy. Xtra Life Lycra is added to give stretch and flexibility, offering a soft hand feel with great body-enhancing properties.

Since 2016, Carvico and Jersey Lomellina has been producing Eco-friendly fabrics made from salvaged fishing nets & post-consumer waste.
Together with fishing communities, they work towards reducing pollution caused by plastic bottles & fishing nets, finding environmentally sustainable and financially feasible ways of disposal.

ECONYL®

ECONYL® – regenerated nylon & Polyester was introduced in 2011 by Aquafil, made entirely from ocean plastic & Ghost nets.

Every year, eight million tons of waste and 640 thousand tons of fishing nets end up in our oceans. (data sourced from UNEP & FAO). If the current level of dumping is not addressed, by 2050, our oceans could contain more garbage than fish.

ECONYL is added to Vita & RENEW  plain-dyed fabrics

Ghosts Nets

A ghost net is an abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing net.

Once discarded, they catch, entangle, and kill marine life, creating a vicious cycle that could last up to 5,000 years before breaking down. 

Approximately 10% of ocean waste is made up of fishing nets.
