Thank You for Supporting Sustainable Swimwear
At Jalayimiya Swim, our mission goes beyond designing bold, body-positive swimwear that celebrates cultural storytelling. We’re deeply committed to protecting our planet and reducing our environmental footprint. From our fabrics to our packaging, every detail reflects our dedication to sustainability.
Sustainable Fabrics: Repreve® and ECONYL®
To create our eco-conscious swimwear, we use innovative materials like Repreve® and ECONYL®, both designed to combat waste and preserve natural resources.
- Repreve® is crafted from recycled plastic bottles, turning waste that might otherwise end up in landfill or the ocean into durable, high-quality fabric. Each Repreve® swimsuit helps to reduce plastic pollution while delivering exceptional comfort and performance.
- ECONYL® is regenerated nylon made from discarded materials such as fishing nets, fabric scraps, and industrial plastic. By repurposing these waste products, ECONYL® reduces the need for virgin nylon, helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions and clean up our planet.
These sustainable fabrics allow us to create swimwear that not only looks and feels amazing but also makes a positive environmental impact.
Keeping It Simple, Keeping It Green
When you order from Jalayimiya Swim, you’ll notice we avoid adding unnecessary extras like thank-you cards or excessive packaging. While these items may seem thoughtful, they often end up as waste in landfill. Instead, we focus on sending only what you need – beautifully designed, eco-friendly swimwear that aligns with our values.
The Impact of Waste
The waste crisis is a global challenge, and the statistics are alarming:
- In 2018-2019, Australia generated 75.8 million tonnes of waste, with 27% going to landfill.
- 84% of plastic waste in Australia was sent to landfill, with only 13% recycled.
- Globally, 91% of packaging waste ends up in landfill or polluting the environment.
At Jalayimiya Swim, we are determined to be part of the solution, not the problem.
Compostable Mailers: A Greener Way to Ship
We use compostable mailers made with PBAT (Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate) and PLA (Polylactic Acid). PBAT is a biodegradable polymer that breaks down entirely in home compost systems, leaving no harmful residue. Combined with PLA, made from renewable resources, our mailers offer a clean and sustainable alternative to traditional plastic packaging.
Pre-Orders and Patience
We understand the excitement of receiving your swimwear and are working hard to prepare your order. Pre-order items may take up to four weeks to arrive, and sometimes, occasionally we combine pre-order and ready-stock items into one shipment to minimise our environmental impact. Your patience and support mean the world to us as we deliver your swimwear with care.
Together, We Can Make a Difference
By choosing Jalayimiya Swim, you’re not only embracing bold, sustainable swimwear but also supporting a mission to protect our planet. Repreve®, ECONYL®, and compostable packaging are just part of our ongoing effort to create a future with less waste and more beauty.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we can make a difference – one swimsuit at a time.
