Due to the functional demands of swimwear and its frequent exposure to harsh conditions like chlorine, seawater, and sunlight, durable synthetic materials such as polyester and elastane are favoured. \u00a0However, these materials rely on finite resources in the form of crude oil and therefore have consequential environmental implications. Moreover, the recyclability of these fabrics is often complicated, if not impossible, since swimwear fabrics are typically made from a blend of different fibres.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Science-based targets (SBTs)<\/span><\/a> incorporate specific and measurable objectives to confront climate change and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Integral for catalysing actionable environmental efforts, SBTs provide organisations with a systematic approach to formulating emission reduction goals that align with the latest climate research. Since these objectives derive from scientific research, they are sufficiently ambitious to contribute meaningfully to the commitments outlined in the <\/span>Paris Agreement.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
