About
Batoko sells one-piece swimsuits made from recycled plastic waste, constructed from 85% recycled polyester and 15% elastane. The independent British label from the North West coast draws its polyester from GRS-certified post-consumer waste such as PET bottles, bags and used textiles, and has done so since 2017. Batoko produces in small runs, prints its swimsuits digitally to cut water use, and ships worldwide in paper packaging.
Feature 1
BATOKO has made its swimsuits from recycled plastic waste since 2017. The fabric is GRS-certified post-consumer recycled plastic, published as 85% recycled polyester and 15% elastane, printed digitally in small batches to avoid overproduction. It is a recycled synthetic rather than a natural plant fibre, so it sits low for natural material, but the plastic is diverted waste rather than virgin oil.
Feature 2
The swimwear is made in China, where both the fabric and the manufacturing partner are based, and BATOKO says the final production stage is audited against the BSCI Code of Conduct, which covers working conditions, pay, health and safety and workers' rights. The brand produces in small, limited runs and uses some recycled packaging.
Feature 3
BATOKO started in 2017 after a beach clean-up and is co-founded by Melanie on the North West coast of England. Its products are vegan and free of animal-derived materials, confirmed by the Good On You directory, which rates the brand Good.

How it was read
Throne identifies the eligible textile products in Batoko's catalogue, inspects each product for published material evidence and requires at least 20 scoreable textile SKUs before publishing a brand score. The score uses only products with enough published material information to classify. Brand non-disclosure and technical read failures are reported separately. Non-textile products are excluded rather than counted as a pass or a fail.
