Sustainability at Aqua Underwear

Packaging & Shipping

All of our shipping and packaging materials are upcycled, recycled, recyclable, or compostable. Your order might show up in a former cereal or mac-and-cheese box (✨thrilling✨), alongside eco-friendly goodies from EcoEnclose, the USA’s leading sustainable shipping brand. Our business cards, hang tags, and paper packaging use EcoEnclose paper printed with algae-based inks, and even our stickers and packing tape are 100% compostable—yes, even the sticky bits.

Fabric Sourcing

Most of our fabrics come from just two family-owned companies in the U.S. We source from Nature’s Fabrics, known for eco-friendly textiles and lower-impact printing methods, and Blue Moon Fabrics, a queer Latine–owned business that offers lots of fabrics made from recycled materials. Supporting small, sustainable, and community-focused businesses? Big yes.

Bamboo Doing the Most

We love bamboo fabric—not just because it’s soft and breathable, but because it’s made from a fast-growing renewable resource that usually needs fewer pesticides than many conventional crops. Basically, it’s like the superhero of sustainable fabrics.

No Scrap Left Behind

We don’t like to waste a stitch. Fabric scraps get a second life whenever possible—hand-sized scraps become bandanas, absorbent pads, face pads, or patchwork garments. And if crafters want them, they’re all yours!

Recycling When We Must

When scraps truly can’t be reused, we send them to textile recycling programs—because the landfill is just not the vibe.
