We are commited to

SUSTAINABILITY

At Blackbough Swim, we're committed to environmental responsibility through mindful business practices. Since 2021, we've proudly created our new swimwear line from recycled fabric. Our commitment to sustainability extends to biodegradable and reusable packaging, and strategic stock management to minimize waste. Our passionate team leads impactful initiatives, including coastal cleanups in the Philippines, shaping a cleaner world, one coast at a time.

Mindful Production Practices

We incorporated direct-to-fabric printing into our production processes which minimizes water waste while ensuring efficiency. Through meticulous data analysis and strategic ordering, we are mindful that our production quantities meet customer demand, minimizing excess stock.

Planet-Friendly Packaging

Since 2019, we've proudly embraced 100% biodegradable mailer bags and biodegradable reusable ziplock bags. We also offer the option to use less packaging, encouraging our customers to make environmentally-friendly choices.

SEA TURTLE CONSERVATION

In an inspiring display of environmental advocacy, over 170 volunteers united with Blackbough Swim to remove a truckload of trash from the nesting beaches of endangered sea turtles in Bacnotan, La Union. The one-day coastal cleanup to mark Earth Month celebrations underscored our dedication to ecological preservation.

Beyond the beach cleanup, the Blackbough Swim community made an impact from all over the globe. We ran a fundraiser sale ‘Earth Day 2024 Collection’ for CURMA for the month of April. Each sale of two bikini sets supported a day of care for rescued sea turtles in La Union, Philippines.

COASTAL CLEANUP

At Blackbough Swim, we're not just a swimwear brand; we're ocean advocates. In recent years, there is no doubt that Siargao, Philippines has gained worldwide popularity as a tourist and surf destination, and has also received its fair share of environmental impact.

Last September 2023, the Blackbough team, along with the local government unit and 150 dedicated local volunteers, partnered up for a coastal cleanup to fill up 100 sacks of trash. This event is a part of our ongoing sustainability journey, aligned with our goal of creating a world where pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters are a reality and not just an ideal.In September-October 2023, we launched a tip option at checkout for customers worldwide to join our coastal clean-up mission. Blackbough Swim pledged to match donations, amplifying our efforts. Together, we're committed to creating a concrete and long-lasting positive impact on our environment.
