The practice of nautical sports educates us to protect our playing fields by reviewing our consomption et by being more mindful about our planet.
The Saint Jacques team has always been conscious of the neoprene's impact on the natural environment. We have looked for a way to re-locate our production, in vain. As a concession, we are centralising most of our processes in our premises in Montpellier and we work with local and national actors as much as possible. From research to development, including designs, tests, communication, after-sales service, etc.
Since 2016, Saint Jacques includes the environment protection in its strategy and always looks for the best solutions. We are not perfect but we are willing to improve our influence.
OCEAN CO PARTNER
We are delighted to announce that we are the first French brand to partner with Ocean Co. This is an organisation whose aim is to combat plastic pollution in the ocean and contribute to the economy of local communities. With 2 million kilograms of plastic dumped into our oceans every day, it's time to take action.
ECO-FRIENDLY WETSUITS
In 2023, we launch our new range of wetsuits : BIO II. This bio-sourced rubber sponge, approved by the USDA biobased, is made from renewable raw materials such as oyster shells and sugar cane. It is 100% neoprene-free and offers excellant performances in terms of flex, warmth and durability.
NEOCYCLE UP-CYCLING PROJECT
This project started in 2020, focusing on the neoprene's end-of-life-stage. Our goal : up-cycle unusable wetsuits into new products such as laptop cases, in order to extend their life stage and to fight against raw materials waste.
Engage in our action, and benefit of -15% on your new wetsuit!
CHOICE OF MATERIALS
COTTON PONCHOS CERTIFIED OEKO-TEX®
The Standard 100 is one of the technical norm of the label Oeko-Tex. It guarantees the absence of use of any toxic substances on a textile product.
The quality of our ponchos is our priority and we are willing to offer more textile products respectfull of your skin and heath.
Nous remplacer les polybags des ponchos par des sacs en toile polypropylène réutilisables et recyclables.
LIMESTONE NEOPRENE
All of our Saint Jacques Wetsuits are made out of limestone neoprene. This neoprene is made from calcium carbonate coming from Limestone. With a lower carbon footprint, it is less harmful for the environment, while remaining just as flexible, soft and comfortable.
