Ethics & Sustainability

Welcome to Hunted Swim, where sustainability, community and swimwear come to marry. I am Larni, an early 20's geography teacher with a love of design and sustainability. I wanted to create the beautiful, affordable sustainable swim and surf wear that I've always dreamed of, whilst giving back to the community and planet, so I have done just that. I hope you love my brand as much as I do, and thank you so much for supporting small business.

Ethics

Here at Hunted Swim, ethics and sustainability are of upmost importance. We are dedicated to becoming a carbon neutral company by the end of 2022. All of our swimwear is made from recycled ocean plastics, and all of our packaging is compostable. We also donate 10% of our profits to contribute to environmental regeneration in Australia.

Who We Give To

 

One Tree Planted

One Dollar = One Tree

By planting trees in Australia, you're creating habitat corridors for koalas in New South Wales and Victoria, enhancing biodiversity in Western Australia, and promoting sustainable and regenerative agriculture practices with landowners. One Tree Planted's bushfire recovery efforts are focused on re-establishing habitat and supporting fire-impacted communities to grow and plant millions of trees. As tree planting costs are high in Australia, your dollar will often go to the tree itself, and we collaborate with awesome partners to ensure the trees are planted and maintained the right way. They also support direct seeding projects in areas where this is ecologically appropriate, which allows for cost-effective restoration at scale.

Our Products

All of our products are made from Carvico Vita - a sustainable techno-fabric, made of a ECONYL® regenerated Nylon that turns ocean waste problems into fashion solutions. We clean up the ocean whilst creating to die for swimwear.

Packaging

We are proud to use HeapsGood packaging mailers and labels.

 HeapsGood mailers are 100% home compostable. They break down in 3-6 months when composted rather than 300 years like their plastic counterparts. 

 

Made in China

Hunted swim is made in China by a company who has passed their fair work trade audits and has their BSCI certificate. All workers are paid above the average wage in China, and there is no slave labour or child labour. They display ethical business behaviour, with a large focus on workers rights and environmental sustainability. Ethics and sustainability are priorities for Hunted Swim, and we have chosen a manufacturer that share our values.

Carbon Neutral

We are dedicated to becoming carbon neutral by the end of 2022, but the sooner the better. We are already working towards this goal and are looking to achieve it sooner rather than later. Stay up to date with our socials as we will be sure to announce it.
