International Company Green & I is making a splash into the swimwear scene with its revolutionary eco-friendly swimwear line, Eco-Panda, which will debut on the poolside runway in San Diego at Ocean Style Soiree on June 17 – get details.

Panda Has Style: Eco-Panda combines high fashion and eco-friendly components, making it one of the first eco-friendly swimwear lines to appear in the swimwear market and industry. Eco-Panda’s premier Summer 2009 Collection features three sub-collections that boast bold prints and electric colors in a multitude of must-have styles.

Take a walk on the wild side and peek at the “Natural Wonders” collection which features design patterns such as “Leopard Love”, “Jungle Beat”, “Birds & Bees”, and “Back to Bamboo”. This bold and striking collection incorporates colors such as “Coral Reef”, “Aquamarine”, and “Jungle Green”.

Panda Makes a Difference: Eco-Panda believes that eco-friendly apparel lines can be both fashion-forward and affordable, making the best of both worlds a reality for today’s consumer. Their groundbreaking technology incorporates the best recycled materials available, including recycled nylon made from fish nets into their swimwear. By combining this nylon with Xtra Life Lycra, each piece of swimwear will retain its shape and fit longer than other suits that are used in chlorinated waters.

This results in the average suit lasting twice as long as swimwear made with other chlorine resistant spandex, and ten times longer than swimwear made with regular spandex, which means that less swimwear will be disposed of. By using recycled nylon, Eco-Panda helps sustain the environment for future generations by diminishing greenhouse gas emissions that lead to global warming, minimizing the use of landfill sites and incineration, and it helps prevent exhaustion of our limited natural petroleum resources.
