Have you ever been frustrated at the pollution of our oceans, the waste that gets dumped into our beautiful bodies of water?  Well, that’s exactly what happened to August Dyrberg.

An avid adventurer and scuba diver, as August learned about the mass amount of plastic waste in the ocean he decided to do something about it, and thus Marda Swimwear was born.  Using recycled plastic bottles August worked with other experts in the clothing industry to use the bottles to create a luxurious and one-of-a-kind bathing suit. 

MARDA is a modern men’s swimwear brand obsessed with creating a better world by using plastic from our oceans and landfills to make premium swim shorts that are made to last. Our philosophy finds the harmony between plastic and design to create highly sustainable swim trunks brought to life with the best in Japanese fabric technology.

August also shares with us what it was like to begin such an arduous task with no background in business, and how he figured out the process and built such a successful business in the process.

 

Topics Discussed:

• Making fabrics from recycled plastic bottles.
• Going into business without a business background.
• Making sustainable clothing that is high-end and functional.
• Ensuring the quality of the product and those making it from start to finish.
