Eco-Panda: Sustainable Swimwear + Giveaway

Eco-Panda
It’s hard enough to find a swimsuit that you feel cute and comfortable in – but a bikini that’s also better for the environment? That may very well be the holy grail of summer swimwear.

Eco-Panda swimwear is made out of recycled nylon material in neon, eye-catching prints. The recycled nylon is sourced from fishing nets – but looks and feels like a regular swimsuit. According to Eco-Panda, using recycled nylon produces 27% less natural petroleum and 28% less greenhouse gases in the production process, and also helps minimize landfill waste.

The nylon is also combined with Xtra Life Lycra, which adds durability and allows the material to last up to 3x longer than the average swimsuit.

The bright, colorful bikinis and monokinis are anything but bland, with fun animal, floral and graphic prints that are instantly beach- or poolside-ready. Just don’t forget the sunblock!

Nice collection of suits. I was looking for a one-piece earlier in the summer and wish I knew about ecoPanda sooner. The prices are reasonable. I particularly like the retro-Japanese inspired prints like the Tokyo Station. I don’t even like pink, but I would wear this one.

Don’t keep your AC on all day when you are out or even all night if you can handle a little bit of heat. Cool down with AC or fans for a couple hours before falling asleep and then keep bills and energy consumption low by only doing what is absolutely necessary.

Too cute! Summers in So. Cal last until November so I’m in need of more swim wear!

Melissa

I think you should have an eco friendly summer by eating local, freah, and organic fruits and veggies instead of meat!

Tiffany

These are too cute!

The best tip for an eco friendly summer is to eat more vegetarian meals! That and turn off the AC more!

Since it’s so nice out, try drying your clothes outside on a clothesline rather than in the dryer. it will save energy and save you money!
