34 Speedo increases recycled materials In 2022, 61% of Speedos soft goods products used recycled materials as the main material. Recycled materials were made from pre-consumer waste (waste from left-over textiles) and post-consumer waste (plastic commonly used for single use, transparent plastic bottles). By the end of 2024, Speedo is aiming for every item to have recycled materials as the main material. More details on Speedos materials can be found on the Textile Exchange Material Change Index. In 2022 Speedo trialled and introduced new materials made from recycled materials into even more styles across its competitive, fitness and lifestyle collections.

Repreve Fabric - A new 100% recycled polyester base for training ranges. The yarn is made of 100% post-consumer waste made from recycled bottles. Materials Our brands continue to progress in their journey of using materials that are lower impact, which means they have less impact on an area than conventional materials. This could be materials made from recycled or organic content. More information on the global organisations we work with to reduce a products impact can be found on page 41. Chemical management We prioritise working with materials suppliers who have third-party accreditations in chemical management and manufacturing. Our Restricted Substances List provides guidance of restricted chemicals and we offer advice to our brands to expand into more responsible textiles.
