OUR MISSION
Here at NOOM SWIM we focus on having a high impact on confidence, but low impact on the Planet - taking into account as many aspects as possible to preserve our environment. Inch by inch and seam by seam, we are working tirelessly and creatively to be as sustainable as we can.
We are proudly committed to support ethical manufacturing and to develop a sustainable approach in the swimwear industry.
Our team works with a small family run and home-based factory in Indonesia, where the tailors produce our pieces in the environment they feel most comfortable in and at their own pace.
It's crucial for us to integrate our values of sustainability into every detail, from the people we work with, to the fabric we chose and the packaging we use.
As we progress down this path to sustainability, we recognize there is always more to learn, new ways to adapt and endless possibilities to evolve. We celebrate how far we have come, and we recognize how far we have to go.
We believe in progress, not perfection, because we know real change takes time. We see our journey towards sustainability as an open and honest conversation with our suppliers, retailers, and most importantly, you.
FABRICS
Half of our very first collection features Ace-Tex fabric, made from recycled plastic bottles, that are collected, washed and cut into flakes. They are then transformed into chips and melted again to make filaments. Those ones are finally processed into thread and the work is done: we turned plastic bottles into gorgeous, high-quality swimwear! Our goal is to produce every single collection from sustainable materials in the near future.
PACKAGING
Packaging is another important aspect of sustainability at NOOM SWIM. Considering the outside as much as the inside, we only use recycled packaging throughout our supply chain. We believe all the little things make a big difference over time. Our mailer bags are biodegradable and compostable.
TAKE CARE
Taking good care of your NOOM SWIM pieces will extend their life, conserve natural resources and minimize the chance of your garment ending up in a textile landfill.
NOOM SWIM pieces are created with the intent to be a part of your wardrobe for years to come.To ensure their longevity, we encourage thoughtful practices when
caring for your pieces. Taking care of your garments will extend their life and minimize your environmental footprint. We recommend a cool hand wash with mild natural soap followed by line drying or drying flat in the shade. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, hot water and harsh chemical detergents. As a general rule, limit washing until completely necessary. All synthetic fibres, recycled or otherwise, release tiny particles called microplastics into the waterways when washed. To minimize this, we recommend washing your swimwear in a Guppyfriend Washing Bag.
IT'S COOL TO CARE
The future is in our hands.
