✨ (Re)introducing the Martinique ✨A thoughtful repurposing of our deadstock neoprene waste.
Back in 2018, we made the official switch over to Yulex. This meant that we said goodbye to neoprene : and we stashed our leftover stock in our warehouse to never be touched again… until now.
Because petroleum-based neoprene is a non-biodegradable material, repurposing / repairing / or donating are truly the only options for keeping it from the landfill. So, with some super careful thought and discussion, we chose to stand behind the decision to responsibly repurpose our deadstock neoprene for a revival of our Martinique suit ⬆️ ♻️ 🙌
You can read more about our decision on the blog now - from practices to extend the longevity of your Martinique, to careful consideration on our choices.
We hope this suit lives out the life it was meant to live - which is keeping you feeling stoked out in the water. We hope that it travels, glides, and makes many salty memories with you. And most of all, we hope that when it comes time to say goodbye to your suit, you consider all of the responsible ways to repurpose it, repair it, and let it ride out another life ♥️♻️♥️♻️♥️♻️
