SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
To produce a responsibly made product, we choose each material with intention and care. When sourcing for our designs, we prioritise natural, recycled, and organic fibres and do not use any fur, leather, or feathers.
At Euphoric Threads our handmade surfwear is produced using recycled nylon or recycled polyester – from plastic waste that would have otherwise been headed for landfill and our oceans.
Our printed materials are unique and one-of-a-kind as they are hand painted, designed, and developed in-house by our designer Laura Griffith. You won’t find any tropical print the same!
OUR FABRICS:
ECONYL®
Our solid surfwear is currently produced using ECONYL®, a 100% regenerated nylon fiber made from pre and post-consumer waste, like fishing nets, industrial plastic waste and fabric scraps. Using ECONYL® instead of sourcing new nylon allows us to recycle waste materials and give them a new life.
We sublimation print our colourful and unique textile designs onto this fabric in Brisbane, Australia and in Leicester, UK.
Our fabric used for your Euphoric Threads’ is:
– Sustainable
– Smooth and soft
– Has maximum durability
with extra strength.
– Outstanding quality
– Has great shape retention
– UPF 50+ sun protection
– Premium quality Carvico product
REPREVE®
Our latest Rashkinis and one-pieces have been produced using REPREVE®, a polyester fibre made of 100% recycled plastic bottles.
Compared to using conventional fibres, styles made using REPREVE® offset the use of new petroleum, emitting fewer greenhouse gases while conserving water and energy throughout the process.
This fabric is super stretchy, silky smooth and has a subtle shine to each print. We sublimation print our colourful and unique textile designs onto this fabric in Alexandria, Sydney with Digital Fabrics.
OTHER MATERIALS
Compostable Poly Bags
This year we began shipping all our surfwear in compostable plastic poly bags, sourced through TIPA. Trade regulations require that every item be packed in a bag, but choosing to use compostable bags instead of conventional plastic minimizes the negative impacts associated with using standard plastic. Our poly bags will decompose in a landfill much faster than standard plastic, and can be added to a home or industrial compost, where they’ll decompose within a matter of months.
Branding
Our hang tags and business cards are made from 80% recycled paper and cotton, printed with soy-based inks. Even the hang tag strings, along with all garment sew-in labels, are made of 100% hemp.
