Crazy Arms says:
Crazy Arms are made from ECONYL®, a regenerated nylon coming from ghost fishing nets and other nylon waste. Abandoned fishing nets, known as ‘ghost nets’, are often lost in storms, snagged on reefs or even tangled when boats operate in crowded waters. These nets, which are near invisible in the ocean light, can be left tangled on reefs or drifting in the open ocean harming fish, marine animals, and bird life.
One organisation, the Healthy Seas Initiative has given these nets a second life. They work with local fishermen to retrieve the nets and instead of sending them to landfill, they partner with a textiles company who use them to produce a recycled nylon called ECONYL®. This recycled material is then used to make a number of products from clothing to swimwear to Crazy Arms™ sun protective sleeves.
