Ecowave

Collections — EcoWave

Introduce your wardrobe to a wave of purpose. ES Collection’s EcoWave Collection is a curated capsule of premium men’s swimwear, active pieces and resort-ready essentials made with Ecowave recycled plastic fabrics — a tech-forward material that transforms post-consumer plastic into high-performance textiles. This collection is designed for the discerning, style-forward gay man who wants his beachwear, swim trunks and summer wardrobe to read luxury, feel sexy, and deliver uncompromising quality while also supporting a cleaner ocean and a smarter system of material reuse.

What is Ecowave?

Ecowave is a family of recycled fabrics engineered from post-consumer plastics and regenerated yarns to create soft, durable and performance-ready textiles ideal for swimwear, mesh pieces and technical resort garments. Depending on the supplier and finish, Ecowave fabrics are offered in satin-like sheens, ribbed textures and mesh constructions suitable for everything from sculpting briefs to quick-dry EcoWave swim trunks. These fabrics are made by transforming plastic waste (often PET bottles and coastal plastic) into yarns, then knitting or weaving them into fabrics with the stretch, colorfastness and hand-feel you expect from premium performance textiles.

Ecowave mesh and EcoWave fabric variants are widely used by swim and lingerie suppliers; retailers and mills list Ecowave as a recycled, Spain-made mesh option suitable for swimwear and lingerie production. 

Why EcoWave? Performance, Touch & Responsibility

Choosing Ecowave recycled plastic fabrics means you don’t sacrifice performance for sustainability. Engineered Ecowave blends are built to:

• Dry fast and retain shape — perfect for eco swimwear and hybrid swim trunks that double as day-party shorts.
• Hold saturated color — the dye and finishing processes used with Ecowave aim for colorfast results so prints, tonal sheens and jacquards remain vivid season after season.
• Provide stretch and recovery — elastane blends return to shape, keeping sculpted cuts flattering and supportive.
• Deliver a premium hand-feel — satin-like Ecowave finishes read like luxury fabrics on the skin while performing in salt and chlorine environments.

These practical benefits are why conscious customers now search for recycled plastic swimwear, eco-friendly swim trunks, and sustainable menswear — they want pieces that look editorial and also behave in the heat, under stage lights, and after repeated dips in the sea.

Materials & Composition — What Ecowave Contains

Ecowave fabrics typically combine recycled polyester (rPET) or recycled polyamide with small percentages of elastane to provide four-way stretch. Typical constructions you’ll find in our EcoWave Collection include mixes such as 93% recycled polyester + 7% elastane (used in performance tees and certain ribbed styles) and mesh constructions around 93% polyester / 7% elastane for double-stretch garments — examples show these blends are in commercial use across swim and lingerie suppliers.

Because Ecowave is primarily a recycled-fiber platform, labels often highlight the recycled content percentage on the product page (e.g., 80–93% recycled PET content depending on fabric and finish). This clarity helps shoppers make informed choices: they can see exactly how much post-consumer material is in the garment.

The Sustainability Story — Why Recycled Plastic Matters

Fashion’s single biggest waste stream includes polyester and plastics that shed or end up in landfills and oceans. Ecowave addresses this by repurposing plastic waste into textile yarns — converting bottles and coastal rubbish into garments that remain in use rather than in our seas. Suppliers developing EcoWave and similar recycled textiles emphasize closed-loop thinking and lower embodied carbon compared to virgin synthetics, making recycled plastic clothing a more responsible choice for the planet’s future.

Practical note: while recycled fabrics are a step forward, they aren’t a cure-all. They reduce dependence on virgin petroleum feedstocks and extend the life of materials, but the best sustainability outcomes also include durable design, repairability, and responsible end-of-life programs. ES Collection’s EcoWave pieces are built to last, encouraging a slower wardrobe and less disposable consumption.
