WHY
Only 1% of clothing is recycled.
85% of textiles end up in landfills.
Recycling is just not enough anymore, because even recyclable materials become waste with over 80% of donated clothes ending up in landfills. This is because the value of the clothing has gone down when it's being recycled, and so it's hard to reuse and recycle it. Even moreso, swimwear is one of the most difficult fashion pieces to recycle, because it is made out of plastic fiber.
That's why we created the first circular swimwear label. We are waste conscious in our design process, production, consumer use, and post-consumer use. Our suits are made from recycled materials and are recyclable and upcycleable! The reDAPO program is part of our waste conscious philosophy to ensure that your Dapo suit is reused or turned into new Dapo suits!
PURPOSE
Our purpose was to create a truly zero-waste program so that your cute bikinis never end up in landfills, and you can enjoy your suits guilt-free.
Our suits will never end up in landfills, that’s our promise to the Earth. And you can have a guilt-free relationship with your bikinis, that’s our promise to you.
