Sustainability

Sustainability

From the stitching to the packaging to the promise, every piece reflects our purpose to protect the paradise we value most.

Coastal lifestyle and sustainable materials

Made with purpose

Designed with the coast in mind

Everything we create begins with a deep respect for the water and the environments that surround it. At Coastal Cool, our swim and beachwear is designed for life lived simply, thoughtfully, and in rhythm with the coast.

We work with GRS-certified recycled polyester made from post-consumer materials like plastic bottles and packaging. Many of these are collected through global recovery systems or reclaimed before reaching the ocean. By transforming waste into fabric, we give new purpose to what would otherwise be left behind.

Each piece is built to feel natural in motion and comfortable throughout the day. Light on the skin, soft to the touch, and quick to dry, our fabrics are designed to move with you, whether you're in the water or on the way somewhere you love.

FABRICS DESIGNED FOR EASE

We source materials with care, looking beyond performance alone. The texture, weight, and breathability of each fabric are carefully considered so that every piece feels effortless to wear. Whether you are out in the sun, spending time on the water, or moving between moments, our clothing is designed to keep pace, always balanced, never too much and never too little.

Our swimwear and resort wear are made with eco-conscious fabrics containing between 88% and 91% recycled polyester, sourced from post-consumer plastic waste. The exact percentage varies by garment and cut, depending on the fabric blend and construction used to deliver the best fit, comfort, and durability.

As our line has grown, our fabrics have evolved, supporting both performance and sustainability across a collection designed for beach days, island escapes, and life on the water.

PACKAGING WITH INTENTION

From our hands to yours, sustainability carries through every part of the process. Your order arrives in packaging made from 90 to 100 percent post-consumer recycled plastic. We carry sustainability through every part of our line, minimizing excess and shipping with care, because our commitment to protecting the places we love goes beyond the product itself.

ONE POUND PROMISE

Our One Pound Promise means every Coastal Cool purchase helps remove one pound of plastic waste before it reaches the ocean. In partnership with Tidey, we support coastal communities that exchange collected plastic for essentials, turning pollution into opportunity and protecting paradise one pound at a time.

EVERY SUIT HAS A STORY

Every Coastal Cool swimsuit begins with plastic bottles and consumer waste that can take more than 450 years to decompose. Instead of ending up in landfills or polluting our oceans, these materials are collected, cleaned, and transformed into recycled polyester, soft, durable, and sustainable. Each piece is then crafted into breathable, quick-drying swimwear designed for your beach day adventures. It’s a renewed purpose for plastic and a step toward a brighter, cleaner coast.
