WHAT IS IN A SNAWVE WETSUIT?

IT ALL STARTS WITH SNAWVE BIO FOAM

Made from a mix of 4 natural resources, removing the petrol or mined limestone you would traditionally find in wetsuit foam.

  • NATURAL RUBBER

  • OYSTER SHELL

  • SUGAR CANE

  • RAPESEED OIL

WE LINE OUR FOAM WITH RECYCLED POLYESTER FROM POST CONSUMER PLASTIC BOTTLES

OUR VALUES

  • NO NEOPRENE! ALWAYS

    Exclusively use environmentally focused materials, avoiding petrol or limestone neoprene, and opting for natural, regenerative foam alternatives.

  • SUSTAINABILITY AT EVERY TURN

    Be it, materials, packaging, or shipping, we consistently ask: "What is the most sustainable way to approach this?"

  • TRANSPARENCY

    We will always be upfront about what is in our wetsuit and why.

    We won't pull the wool over anyone's eyes.. Or in most cases, equally harmful limestone foam.

  • SUSTAINABLE VALUE

    We understand right now sustainable can mean more expensive. Our goal is to make owning a sustainable wetsuit a possibility for everyone, passing any cost savings as we grow on to our customers.

Clothing

Our collection of clothing is made exclusively from organic cotton. This eco-conscious fabric offers numerous sustainable benefits. Organic cotton cultivation eliminates the use of harmful pesticides and chemicals, protecting both the environment and the farmers who grow it.

By opting for organic cotton, we also support biodiversity, conserve water resources, and reduce carbon emissions.

Packaging

At every turn, we prioritise the use of sustainable and recyclable materials to minimise our environmental footprint.

From cardboard boxes to paper tape and tissue wrapping, we choose eco-friendly the option for our packaging.

We have eliminated single use elements like tags and wrappers to reduce our total waste.

Logistics

We have chosen to partner with DHL, a logistics company that shares our vision and actively takes steps to reduce their environmental impact.

DHL will ensure that our deliveries are not only efficient and reliable but also carbon-offset, aligning with our goals as a company.
