People & Planet

An update on our eco-conscious journey & impact partners.

At Tigerlily we're passionate about the lifecycle of our products, who made them and what materials they’re created from.

Did you know? In late 2021, a new team started at Tigerlily. We've been working hard behind the scenes through various facets of Tigerlily to ensure we are doing our part to protect the Earth & people living on it.

In partnership With

Ocean Co.

We’re proud to announce our partnership with Ocean Co., a global movement dedicated to collecting 7 billion ocean-bound plastic bottles by 2025.

For every Swim Classic sold, we've pledged to sponsor the collection of 50 ocean bound plastic bottles in partnership with OceanCo.

About Our Partnership

Plastic in the Ocean

Did you know that a staggering 2 million kilograms of plastic enter our oceans each day? That's equivalent to a truckload of plastic every single minute. If we don't take action, by 2050, the plastic in our oceans will outweigh the fish that call these waters home.

Who collects the plastic?

The plastic bottles through our partnership with OceanCo is collected by locals from some of the worst affected coastal communities such as the Philippines, Brazil, Egypt, Ghana, India and Indonesia, who then exchange the plastic for money or receive digital credit to swap for tuition, tech goods, healthcare and micro-finance.

How is this done?

This infrastructure is made possible with help from partners Plastic Bank, Plastics for Change and rePurpose who set up collection sites and ensure transactions to collectors are secure through traceable technology. To learn more, and track our impact, check out our impact dashboard.

Our new elevated classic capsule has been carefully curated with timeless swim shapes and sustainability in mind. Created from an eco-nylon recycled rib fabric this collection goes hand in hand with our new OceanCo. partnership which collects ocean bound plastic bottles.

Eco-Conscious Swim

Did you know?

In 2015 Tigerlily was one of the first brands to commercially release swimwear using recycled materials. Even the lining in this range is from recycled fabrics.

Considered

Supply Base

From 2021-2022 we reduced our supply base by 40% to create meaningful partnerships and foster transparent working relationships with our carefully selected suppliers. Beyond transparent relationships, we ensured our remaining supply base makes products to last.

Through building a meaningful relationship with our suppliers, we have unlocked customisable order quantities to enable us to ensure 100% of created products find a home.

For this reason, over 2023 you will see Tigerlily allow our customers to Pre-Order in efforts to produce only what you (our amazing customers) want in your wardrobes.

Consciously Selected

Raw Materials

We have continued our movement to eco friendly fabric options including organic materials and natural fibres. The majority of our swimwear range is created from recycled plastic materials.

Currently we use fully recyclable hangtags and woven labels manufactured from recycled fibres. From October 2023, we will transition to organic cotton care labels.

We're passionate about

Closing the Loop

At Tigerlily, we ensure every product we create has a home. We donate samples to Thread Together and faulty items are sent to Upparel to be broken down into re-usable textiles. None of our products are ever put into landfill.

In May 2023, we worked with Upparel and saved:

- 115.5kg of textiles from landfill

- 404.25kg of c02 from the atmosphere

Compostable

Packaging

Throughout the past 6 months, we have partnered with Better Packaging company. This transition has ensured all orders placed with our suppliers from January 2023 forward are delivered in compostable packaging rather than the previous recycled plastic. These are made from 100% biodegradable and home compostable materials. We also ship all of our online orders in compostable packaging.

Reduction of

Carbon Footprint

Over the past 18 months, we at Tigerlily have worked on our critical path. This process assisted in enabling us to move majority of our product from supply base to Australia by sea rather than air. Only 16% of orders were sent by air in 2022, compared to 79% in 2020.

All of the below are already in progress
