Water Usage: All Elle Nage products are made from ECONYL, a fabric made from regenerated plastic waste and discarded ocean fishing nets. Traditional methods for producing nylon are not eco-friendly since they require huge amounts of water, whereas the production of ECONYL uses significantly less water and creates less waste than virgin nylon.

Friendly Materials: Elle Nage products are made from ECONYL, an infinitely recyclable regenerated nylon. Products are dyed with Oeko-Tex certified dyes.

Locally Crafted: All products are made by local Indonesian men and women.

Considerately Produced: Elle Nage opts for a regenerated material that is infinitable recyclable, tackling the problem of plastic pollution in the ocean. It gives its fabric off-cuts a purpose by making them into Repair Kits, so that if swimwear ever gets damaged, customers can use a patch to repair it themselves. Unsold stock will either go into a sample sale, or will be recycled. Elle Nage is proud to have a 100% transparent supply chain in which workers negotiate their own salaries and can earn up to 3 times minimum wage. Each worker also receives health insurance packages for themselves and their families, a profit sharing scheme, meal allowance, training on environmental issues, and metal water bottles.

Packaging: Packaging is made in the UK and is 100% compostable, biodegradable and recyclable. Hang tags and hygiene liners are made from FSC certified paper.

Giveback Culture: Elle Nage partners with a supplier in Bali that donates $0.10 USD per piece to a range of charities. These include The ZeroWaste Centre, that helps to clean up the world’s oceans, and Bali Wise, which empowers marginalised Indonesian women through access to education. They have also donated to SOS Indonesia to help feed those in need due to COVID-19. Elle Nage also plants a tree for every pre-order made.
