It's a big process that's for sure. In short, the plastic bottles are collected, washed, crushed into pellets, melted down and extruded into fibre to be made into the polyester used in our towels. If you'd like a more detailed look, you can view here. By using recycled materials, we prevent 7-30 recycled plastic bottles from ending up in landfill and oceans with each purchase.

Our goal is to ultimately produce an 100% eco towel whether that is from recycled plastic or a blend of natural materials. We found that the composition of 100% recycled plastic meant poorer texture, not much absorbency, and overall unable to be as functional as the current SomerSide towel. Innovation is key in this space so if you've got some ideas please do get it touch, we'd love to chat.

Microplastics are essentially very small pieces of plastic that result from the breakdown of larger plastic debris. They can be so small that you may not even see them. Microplastics come from all types of man made materials that make up products such as swimwear, t-shirts, make-up, and various others. As our towels are made from recycled plastic, there are measures you can take to minimise the Microplastic waste from entering our environment when you wash your SomerSide towel. This can be as simple as hand washing, or using washing bags that prevent Microplastics from entering our waterways. We recommend buying a Guppy washing bag to protect our waterways and marine friends. 

Our towels are designed to last, however, if you want to grab yourself a new one there are ways to utilise the old one. A great way to reuse your old SomerSide towel is to cut it up and use it as cleaning cloths, give it to your dog or cat as a new blanket, or even as a funky bath mat.

Yes! We are strongly committed to making every aspect of our product as sustainable as possible. We use either biodegradable or recycled ocean plastic mailing bags for all orders.

Our towels are made from 85% recycled polyester and 15% polyamide also known as Nylon is some countries.

The premium range is a waffle weave fabric, containing double the amount of plastic bottles, has double the absorption, and is double the weight of our Quick Dry towels. The premium range is ideal for the beach and picnics, where as the quick dry range is much more versatile for travel, picnics, camping and a variety of adventures as they're so light, compact, and dry 4 x faster than cotton. 

Our ponchos are unisex and currently available in a one size fits most.  They are designed to be oversized and measure 70cm x 112cm from top of shoulder to the bottom of the poncho. Ideally, we want our products to be inclusive to all and are currently looking at bringing out an XL version. 

Quick Dry towels: Wash your SomerSide towel before use to give it that softness, our quick dry towels will continue to get softer over time and with every wash. Machine wash at 30 degrees and we recommend washing separately.

Premium Waffle towels: Machine wash your premium towel on cold cycle and we recommend washing separately.

Beach Ponchos: Wash your poncho before use to give it that softness, it will continue to get softer over time and with every wash. Machine wash at 30 degrees and we recommend washing separately.

Our towels & ponchos dry 2-4 faster than a regular cotton towel so simply hang it outside and it'll be ready for your next activity in no time. Our products are odour resistant so wash sparingly, this will also prolong the life of the towel.

They have an 18 litre capacity (35cm x 23cm x 23cm) with clever configuration so you can fit multiple wine/champagne bottles lengthways, or 18 cans with food and ice on top. 

Our cooler bags our designed to keep food and drinks chilled for up to 8 hours. For best results we suggest packing ice packs, keeping your cooler bag in the shade and zipped up at all times. If you chose to put ice blocks in your cooler, empty ice as it melts to avoid leakage and condensation.

Avoid putting loose sharp objects inside such as knives and forks, which may result in a puncture. Clean immediately after use and dry with a soft cloth and spot clean exterior with a soft wash cloth. Store empty with the zipper open and do not machine wash, tumble dry or bleach.

The outer material is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles with natural wool insulation to keep your food and drinks cold all day. On the inside we use a waterproof and eco-friendly PEVA lining.

The umbrella canopy is made from approximately 30 recycled plastic bottles with an organic cotton fringe for good looks. Featuring a beech wood pole and fibre glass ribs, our umbrellas are sustainably made to last.  

Our Beach Umbrellas are designed to be used in the sand, however they also work with a typical stand/base in a stable setting. In saying so we always recommend following our care instructions and bringing your umbrella inside and out of exposure to the elements when not in use.

Our umbrellas are UPF50+, waterproof, PU coated, and 98% UV protection for shade that protects and lasts. Our canopies block out over 98% of harmful UV rays so you can enjoy your summer shade knowing you're well protected from the sun.

Your umbrella can simply be spot cleaned with warm soapy water as required. When not in use, we always recommend storing your umbrella in its matching carry bag either indoors or undercover.
