At Vampire Surf Club, our mission extends beyond creating stylish sun protection. We are committed to making environmentally responsible choices that balance high performance with minimal impact on the planet. This is why we've chosen ECONYL® regenerated nylon for our rashguards and swimwear.

What is ECONYL® yarn?

ECONYL® yarn is a 100% regenerated nylon fiber. This revolutionary material is created by recovering nylon waste—such as fishing nets, industrial nylon waste, and carpet flooring destined for landfill—and transforming it into high-quality ECONYL® nylon yarn.

The Process of Regeneration

The ECONYL® regeneration process involves four critical steps:

Rescue: Nylon waste that would otherwise pollute the Earth is collected from all over the world, it is then sorted and cleaned.
    Regenerate: Through a radical regeneration and purification process, the nylon waste is recycled right back to its original purity.
      Remake: The regenerated nylon is processed into yarn that retains the same quality and performance as fossil-based nylon.
        Reimagine: This high-performance yarn is then made into fabric used to create new products, such as our hooded rashguards and swimwear.
