CAREERS AND AWARDS
OP LEADS THE WAY IN SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS
In celebration of International Women ’ s Day in March , Stay Wild , the eco-friendly swimwear and essentials company co-founded by Zanna Van Dijk ( 99-10 ) and Natalie Glaze , was recognised by the UK government ’ s Department for Business , Energy and Industrial Strategy ( BEIS ) as one of three femalefounded brands leading the way in sustainable business . Further accolades followed in April when the company ’ s founders were also named in the Forbes 30 under 30 for retail and ecommerce .
The London-based business created in 2019 prides itself on producing timeless pieces with a purpose . Made from sustainable fabrics regenerated from unwanted waste such as plastic fishing nets and wood pulp , the range includes stylish bikinis , onepieces , underwear essentials and t-shirts .
On being recognised by the Department of BEIS Zanna said : “ I am thrilled that our business has been celebrated by the UK government in this way . After pouring so much passion into our brand and never compromising on our ethos along the way , it is incredible to get this sort of recognition .”
Stay Wild has also launched a swimwear recycling scheme , the Circularity Project , accepting any brand of worn down and broken swimwear which instead of going to landfill can be recycled and repurposed into eco industrial products such as eco-carpet underlay .
