Recycled bottles in products

Quiksilver says it has turned more than 363 million recycled plastic bottles into products. It also says this has helped avoid over 11 million kilograms of CO2 emissions by using recycled polyester in many items. The brand presents this as part of a long-running effort to cut waste and lower climate impact in its product line.

Boardshorts made with recycled materials

The brand says all of its boardshorts are now made with recycled materials. It also says 80% of its boardshort range was already based on post-consumer recycled plastic bottles by the end of 2014. This shows a focus on one of its main product lines, using waste material instead of new raw material.

Lower-impact materials used

Quiksilver says it uses recycled materials, organic cotton, natural dyes, hemp, and recycled textile waste in parts of its range. It also describes a circular manufacturing process, which means making products so the material can be collected, broken down, and used again. The brand says these materials appear in tees, fleece, hoodies, boardshorts, and surf and snow gear.

Packaging and paper changes

The brand says its supply chain work includes recycled and recyclable polybags, recycled card tags, and digital catalogues instead of printed ones. It also says it has reduced sample collections by using digital tools. These steps are meant to cut plastic use, paper waste, and extra transport linked to physical samples.

Environmental work since 1999

Quiksilver says sustainability has been part of its business since 1999. It points to earlier steps such as a first environmental department in 2000, ISO 14001 certification at its European headquarters in 2003, product life cycle assessment work in 2008, and a clean water fundraising campaign in 2012. These actions suggest a long history of environmental activity, not just recent marketing.
