Can you believe these swim shorts are made from a fabric that’s 88% recycled plastic bottles? These eco-friendly trunks also feature four-way stretch and quick-dry capabilities. Oh, and if odor is your issue, this swimsuit has you covered there, too.

Brittney Levine joins Hoda and Jenna with her list of the perfect products to keep you cool in the summer heat, including the Keter cool bar, no sweat hat liners and more.

The Bayberry Trunk from Fair Harbor offers a more sustainable spin on classic men’s swim trunks. They’re made with a blend of recycled polyester, cotton, and elastane for a comfortable feel and stylishly faded colors; a slightly tapered leg gives them a more fitted look. They’re DWR treated, so they’ll dry quickly, and a soft built-in liner keeps you comfortable during long days by the water.

Fair Harbor baked sustainability into its corporate mission from the start, with its business model of using plastic bottles as the raw material for its line of beachwear.

The New York City-based apparel brand launched in 2014, but it wasn't until six years into business that Danehy took steps toward B Corp status--thanks to a push from one of his most junior employees.

Caroline Danehy, cofounder and chief brand officer of Fair Harbor Clothing, and her brother started the company in 2014 when she was in high school. She had passion, youthful exuberance, agility, curiosity, grit, a willingness to be coached, and an attitude to do whatever it takes.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Venus and Serena Williams, and even Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss have proven that great ventures can emerge from sibling relationships. Unlike the business relationships between parents and children, sibling ventures are much more likely to be a partnership among equals.

When siblings Jake and Caroline Danehy appeared on our 2020 Under 30 list, their swimsuit brand Fair Harbor had just hit $2 million in revenue. A year later, they exploded—hitting $18.1 million in 2021 thanks to a sustainability-focused mission and an aggressive, old-school marketing campaign.

Most lined swim trunks feature a mesh brief on the inside. Not so with Fair Harbor's Anchor trunks, which have a snug interior short made from soft CoolMax fabric. Hey, it's a preference thing. And that's not all these trunks have to offer. The shell is made from 88 percent recycled polyester that comes from reclaimed plastic bottles (the rest of the fabric is spandex for supreme stretchiness). All that, plus an oversized diamond pattern at the side. Nice.

At apparel company Fair Harbor, practicing empathy has been built into the brand since day one. When asked about the benefits of it, cofounders Caroline and Jake Danehy said it is central to the firm’s success along with creating a “family-style culture.”

No. 26 on the list:

Fair Harbor transforms upcycled plastic bottles into timeless, ultra-soft apparel.

“We were really frustrated by plastic bottles and everything going on in the environment—that’s the backbone of our business,” says Fair Harbor cofounder and CEO Jake Danehy, 27, who made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list alongside his 24-year-old cofounder and CCO sister in 2020. “But that’s not really what sells our products; we make a superior product people want to wear, that’s what sells.”

The company had humble beginnings. Caroline, 22, says they “bootstrapped” Fair Harbor after its initial debut, going out to small beach towns, not unlike the company’s namesake, “to sell to anyone who would listen to our story. We’ve developed a real community while building it,” she says of the company.

Sales figures in the months following the pandemic up through June, reviewed by Business Insider, were up 1,200% year-over-year, and their overall rate of near-1,000% year-over-year growth has remained steady. Jake said "It's been an incredibly exciting journey, we've had to keep our heads down, stay creative and stay incredibly nimble and agile," he continued.

Specializing in men’s swimwear, Fair Harbor is transforming the industry one pair of swim trunks at a time. Each pair is made from 12 plastic bottles, and has an innovative boxer brief liner that not only does good, but feels good too.

A pair of siblings have "upcycled" more than 500,000 plastic bottles to create eco-friendly swimwear.

Siblings Jake and Caroline Danehy spent childhood summers on Fair Harbor, Fire Island, and started their company to reduce ocean plastic. Their process uses a technology to convert plastic bottles into recycled polyester that Jake learned as a student at Colgate University, and which is then turned into board shorts and swimwear.

“What sets Danehy apart from other swimwear brands is his powerful interest in a sustainable humanistic approach. Danehy’s attention is in implementing assistive technology that has allowed for his Fair Harbor Swimwear brand to take advantage of sustainable applications by leveraging technology to mitigate the use of single-use plastics and transforming recycled plastic bottles into exceptional swimwear.”

“There wasn’t a specific fashion house/designer/celebrity we thought about when first creating our designs. However, we did acknowledge the platform that these parties have in voicing their opinions on a matter they feel passionate about,” say the founders. “Our goal is to use our brand as a platform to promote the mitigation of single-use plastics.”

“I’ve been wearing these regularly since the sustainability-forward Fair Harbor sent me a pair to try out — and wore them for multiple days straight last weekend. They really do hit all the marks they’re designed to, constructed with 50% organic cotton, 10% spandex, and 40% coming from recycled plastic bottles.”
