At OOSC, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to create stylish, high-performance retro-inspired Skiwear, Gym wear and Swimwear that not only looks good but also does good for the planet. We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint through every step of the production process. Here’s how we make a difference:

Our Materials

0 Carbon DWR (Durable Water Repellent): We use a non-toxic, sustainable water repellent that contains zero carbon emissions, ensuring that your swimwear remains protected without harming the environment.
Recycled Plastic Bottles into Polyester: Our fabrics are made from 100% verified recycled plastic bottles, helping to reduce waste and conserve resources.
Ocean Waste into Nylon: We turn ocean waste into high-quality nylon, contributing to the cleanup of our oceans while producing durable materials for your swimwear.
Organic Cotton: Our organic cotton is grown without harmful pesticides or fertilizers, ensuring a healthier planet and a better product. Read more about the benefits of organic cotton here.
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Certified: All our textiles are tested for harmful substances, ensuring that everything from yarn to finished product is free from toxins and safe for you and the environment.
GOTS Certified Cotton: Our GOTS-certified organic cotton meets the highest environmental and social standards, ensuring sustainable practices throughout the entire textile supply chain.

Ethical Manufacturing

WRAP Certified Factory: We partner with a WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) certified factory to ensure fair labor practices and sustainable production processes.
Solar Energy and Recycled Rainwater: Our factory uses solar energy and recycled rainwater in its operations, minimizing its environmental impact.
Electric Van: Our delivery vans are electric, reducing carbon emissions while ensuring a cleaner environment for the planet.

Sustainable Shipping and Packaging

Sea Transport: We prioritize transporting goods via sea rather than air to reduce our carbon footprint.
Recycled and Recyclable Packaging: All our packaging is made from recycled materials and is fully recyclable, ensuring that it doesn't end up in landfills.
Repair Patches: We include repair patches with all outerwear, so you can keep your products in use for longer and reduce waste.

Circular Economy

Preloved Option: We’re expanding our preloved collection to other regions, giving our products a second life and helping prevent unwanted items from going to landfill.
Rentals: We’ve partnered with HURR in the UK and NUULY in the US to offer rental options, allowing you to enjoy our products without the commitment to purchase.

Waste Reduction and Repurposing

Repurposing Damaged Suits and Excess Material: In collaboration with Birdie Blue, we salvage damaged suits and excess fabric to repurpose them into stylish and practical items like bumbags and backpacks.

Our Partners

3PL Sustainable Operations: Our third-party logistics provider is committed to sustainability, with energy-efficient robots, optimized packaging, and solar-powered storage facilities. They even maintain a carbon-negative footprint in the Netherlands!
