Save the Oceans

At Drope we value the environment very much and we honor our commitment to sustainability, making it a reality through different actions, one of the most important being recycling.
In the production of some bikinis and swimsuits we use recycled fabric from fishing nets removed from the oceans.
It is extremely gratifying to know that through a small gesture we can not only help to clean up the oceans but also contribute to protecting marine life from one of its greatest enemies: fishing nets!
How do we do this?
It all starts with Healhty Seas, an organization that, through collaborations with the fishing sector and the help of volunteer divers, collects nets that are lost at the bottom of the sea.
Once caught, nylon fishing nets are recycled and transformed by econyl into yarn for the fashion and interiors industries. Econyl then supplies the yarn from the nylon nets to our fabric suppliers.

This fabric is later used by Drope in the production of our bikinis, which our customers wear with such affection.
8 million tons of waste are lost in our oceans every year and 640 thousand tons of fishing nets are abandoned at the bottom of them. This type of data indicates that, if there is no change in behavior, by 2050 the sea could contain more trash than fish. A shocking reality, right?
This is why the work of organizations like healthyseas is so important! Since its founding in 2013, they have managed to collect 515 tons of fishing nets and make them possible for reuse!
As a brand, we are proud to work with companies that source recycled materials, as we believe it is essential to adopt sustainable practices at the production level that, in the short and long term, will make a significant difference.
Protecting the planet is our common duty and if everyone does their part, we will be able to create a better future!
