Product Information

What is RPET microfibre?

RPET stands for Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate - essentially plastic bottles that have been collected, processed, and spun into a high-performance microfibre yarn. It's the same performance material as virgin polyester, but made from waste that would otherwise end up in landfill or the ocean.

How many recycled plastic bottles are in each towel?

Each Sand Society towel is made from 20+ recycled plastic bottles. It's one of the reasons we're proud to offer a product that's both high-performing and better for the planet.

Are your towels sustainably made?

Yes. Our towels are made from RPET microfibre - recycled plastic bottles — and are free from harmful chemicals. We take care to ensure our manufacturing processes are as eco-conscious as possible. You can learn more on our Values & Sustainability page.

How do I care for my Sand Society towels?

Our towels are machine washable. Wash in cold water and avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the sand-free performance of the microfibre. Hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat.

How do I know if the product I want is in stock?

f a product is listed on our website it's in stock and ready to ship. Out of stock items will be clearly marked as "Sold Out" - you can sign up to be notified when they're back.

Do you offer gift cards?

Yes! Digital gift cards are available on our website in a range of amounts and are delivered straight to your inbox.

Can I exchange my towel for a different colour or size?

How do international returns work?
