Loop Swim

Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate Loop Swim “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• While it offers clothing recycling to consumers, it doesn’t report on its results.
• Digital printing technology helps reduce its water use.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assess brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Loop Swim “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It sources its final stage of production from countries with high risk of labour abuse.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• It visits its suppliers regularly.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Since Loop Swim makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we have not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined "Planet" and "People" scores.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Loop Swim “Good” overall.
