MADE IN EUROPE WITH ORGANIC COTTON
Each item of clothing in your possession carries an environmental footprint, encompassing the materials employed in its production, the manufacturing processes involved, and its ultimate destination. These factors collectively exert a profound role in the planet's health.
At Below 50, we understand the importance of protecting our oceans and the marine life within them. That's why we are committed to using sustainable materials and production methods that minimize our impact on the environment.
Almost all of our freedivewear is made from 100% organic cotton, ensuring that our clothing not only respects the environment but also provides a comfortable and durable option for freedivers.
The production of organic cotton has benefits for both the environment and the producers involved. Rather than relying on harmful pesticides and fertilizers, organic farming methods employ techniques such as intercropping and insect traps, as well as the addition of cow manure.
This approach promotes biodiversity and results in a luxurious, soft feel to our products.
Short supply chain and ethic
Our clothing are made in Portugal , a region recognized for its expertise and know-how, in factories that meet GOTS human-ecological standards.
Another key advantage of producing organic clothing in Portugal is the ability to keep the supply chain short. By sourcing materials locally, the carbon footprint associated with transportation is greatly reduced. This also allows for greater transparency in the production process, ensuring that workers are treated fairly and the garments are made in an ethical manner.
Simple and classic by choice
Our mission is to create cool and practical designs that stand the test of time, rather than follow fleeting trends.
We believe that mindfully-selected, versatile clothing can become instant favorites that last a lifetime. That’s why we focus on developing pieces that meet the needs of the contemporary freediver who seeks effortless style and multifaceted functionality to keep up with his/her on-the-go lifestyle.
Our commitment to sustainability means that we use the best practices to create clothes that not only look good but also make the wearer feel good about their planet-friendly choices.
