Sustainability at Sealand

TOGETHER WE MAKE OUR PLANET BETTER

Sealand is a leading gear and apparel brand committed to sustainability, upcycling and environmental stewardship. We strive to craft high-quality products whilst minimising our environmental impact by turning waste destined for landfill into valuable and durable products. In doing so, we have saved over 105 tons of toxic material from our planet.

Sealand forms part of the vibrant South African community and local environment. We draw inspiration, materials and talent from our surroundings daily. We aspire to play a positive role in supporting our People, Partners and Planet.
