Our COMPRESSLITE range is made using recycled plastic bottles and by June this year, the fabrics made from this range will have saved 550,000 bottles from ending up in our landfills or oceans.

KATIA: Being part of the apparel industry, one of the largest polluters in the world, we wanted to make sure our business was making considered decisions in the manufacturing process of our garments. Why is sustainability so important to you? We sat down with Vera and Katia to talk about their commitment to being an environmentally friendly brand ahead of World Ocean Day (June 8). “We’re really committed to finding ways to lessen our environmental impact and as such, we’ve also turned our focus to our packaging and are rolling out compostable bags with our online orders as of July to further reduce our eco footprint,” says Katia. Six recycled plastic bottles are used in each pair of COMPRESSLITE leggings and two recycled plastic bottles are used in every sports bra. The Bondi-born brand has saved over 550,000 plastic bottles from going into landfill (and our oceans) over the last year through its core COMPRESSLITE range that’s been created with fabric made using post-consumer use recycled plastic bottles. Fast forward to now and the brand turns over $5 million annually, has a growing team and two award-winning bricks and mortar stores, but it’s their commitment to sustainability that we wanted to talk to them about today. In 2014, best friends and Premium members Vera Yan, 31, and Katia Santilli, 32, created Nimble Activewear as a feminine, stylish and affordable alternative to the expensive, bland workout clothing on the market.
