The company makes t-shirts, shorts, bikinis, tank tops, dresses, sweatshirts, bags and hats. The products are made from organic cotton, hemp, recycled plastics, rubber and metals, all of which reduce the manufacturing load and agricultural run-off to the oceans. The company sponsors surf events to help clean up beaches and raise awareness of the growing problem of ocean pollution. The company provides educational materials in their stores and develops working relationships with organizations, such as Surfrider Foundation or SeaWeb, that contribute to ocean protection. Seaweed also advocates change through existing systems and personal contributions.
Brazil also provides the added benefit of a large local market to fuel the company's sales growth.
All of the manufacturing sites fulfill their commitment to support high quality labor practices. We assume however that we will cut into the existing market of surfwear and activewear. The focus on extreme sports and television coverage of events like the X-Games has heightened interest and a following among young people in the extreme sports segment. B. Travel requirements None.
