INASKA is a company founded and run by women from Germany and produces sustainable swim and activewear from recycled polyamide. The basis of the polyamide fabric used is ECONYL yarn, which consists of 100% recycled material such as discarded fishing nets, carpet remnants and various other plastic waste. INASKA designs and develops all products in Hamburg, they are vegan and fairly produced in Portugal. INASKA products have no knots and closures, thus a high wearing comfort without pressure points and no wear parts. From production to delivery and packaging, INASKA carefully ensures that bikinis and leggings are produced in an environmentally friendly and grandchild-friendly way. INASKA avoids unnecessary transportation, so all bikinis and leggings are produced, packed and shipped in Europe from the production of the yarn to the final product. So you get a fairly produced bikini or leggings and protect your environment. And that's not all. INASKA is involved with organizations that actively work for environmental protection and represents a feminist, body-positive, ecologically sustainable philosophy. Because sustainability is not a trend, but a way of life.
