It's World Water Day 2018. Never heard of it before? World Water Day is a day to remind ourselves of the importance of water to our planet, our ecosystem and our lives.

However, even safe drinking water is a luxury that 2.1 billion people on our planet do not have - affecting their health, their education and their livelihood.
The Answer Is In Nature
World Water Day 2018 is exploring the ways that we can use solutions in nature to address the water challenges of our planet. You can read more about some of the initiatives here.
What Can We Do?
At Deakin and Blue we feel strongly about our responsiblity to our planet and this influences our choice of suppliers, of fabrics, our supply chain, our packaging and our end product. We're proud to make our swimwear from a yarn made from recycled and regenerated consumer waste, which is made from items such as used fishing nets. We only use OEKO-TEX® certified manufacturers, we produce our swimwear in small production runs in an environmentally responsible factory in London and we don't use plastic in our packaging, anywhere. We believe that by reducing our impact on the environment, we are contributing to a better, safer planet for everyone.
