“Social and
environmental sustainability becomes a standard in the projection of the
new normal. Fashion actors must review the mix of their supply chains
to better balance risks, costs and supply flexibility ", it is with
these words that the Mc Kinsey" Time for Change "report, published in
early May 2020, announced his forecasts for last year. One year later,
the analysis is confirmed and affects all sectors, including
beachwear. "Polyamide, polyester and elastane are the materials used
for swimwear products and they are all synthetic fibers generally
obtained from petroleum".
Initially born to make up for the global
lack of natural fibers, but also to have textile fibers with specific
properties (resistance, ease of maintenance, extensibility) at a low
cost, these materials also guarantee optimal quality and performance for
the practice of water sports.
The explosion of the use of recycled fibers
At the heart of this market, recycled fiber production is booming.
Among these, there is space for recycled polyester starting from PET
obtained from plastic water bottles of Invista) or from plastic waste
recovered from the sea (Seaqual by Seaqual 4U). There is also polyester
from the recycling of fishing nets (Econyl by Aquafil).
In first
place, recycled plastic occupies an increasingly important place in the
textile-clothing sector, as highlighted in the Textile Exchange 2020
report.
