Due to its location in the border town of Ayamonte (Huelva), Glassy Europe has always been a brand deeply connected to the ocean. Its beaches, such as Isla Canela, and the Guadiana River, a natural border with Portugal, have served as significant sources of inspiration for them in terms of values and respect for the oceans.

For them, who enjoy the ocean daily and engage in their favorite sports within it, it is crucial to fulfill an educational role and advocate for good practices in our community. Undoubtedly, climate change is a palpable reality, and there is still time to prevent its rapid progression.

One of their flagship products is sustainable surf lycras. When surfing in the summer, it’s vital to protect oneself from the sun and the abrasion of the board. Thanks to the SEAQUAL Initiative, they can manufacture their surf lycras using recycled polyester sourced from SEAQUAL® MARINE PLASTIC. This way, they say they are “closing the loop, returning to the sea what was once marine debris, in a new and functional product like our sustainable surf lycras.”

Additionally, they offer a customization program tailored to schools, clubs, and event organizers interested in creating their personalized surf lycras. This way, they can help promote ocean values and contribute to their conservation through these entities.

These lycras are manufactured in Spain, in the same factory where GLASY Europe’s facilities are located. They hold EMAS certification, and a photovoltaic park powers all machinery used in the manufacturing process with solar energy.

All Glassy lycras, whether from their standard collection or customized for surf schools, bear the SEAQUAL license number to provide total transparency to the end customer.
