Today I would like to tell you that there is a company, in Almería (Southeast of Spain), that designs swimsuits and bikinis, from fabrics made with nylon from recycled fishing nets, in Germany.
Fishing nets
Nylon comes to Spain from a German company. When the material is in Almeria, two young entrepreneurs (Carmen and Eduardo) design the swimsuits, choosing the different fabrics.
Fabrics for recycled swimsuits and bikinis
Carmen and Eduardo started designing t-shirts; but they had the illusion of trying to design swimsuits. The swimsuits line, "Ilovebelove", was born in 2014; but the first swimsuit that they made by hand was in 2017 --although they had designed it in 2015-- .

Fishing nets are among the materials that most damage environment, since being made with durable materials; they can continue to entangle marine animals for up to 600 years. At least 136 thousand whales, seals, sea lions, turtles and dolphins get entangled in these nets, every year, while innumerable fishes, birds and crustaceans are captured and killed unnecessarily.
This is undoubtedly a very remarkable fact among people who study marine ecosystems, so Carmen María Castro, an entrepreneur, has decided to regenerate and transform this material to turn it into swimwear.
Carmen says: “What comes from sea, is recycled to return to it".
