Discover our latest film ‘The End of the World’ following the journey of Maxime Chabloz through various French lighthouses.
WATCH THE MOVIEOur sports harness the power of water and wind, leaving minimal impact on the environment, but manufacturing the gear we use does. That’s why we’re committed to creating durable and increasingly sustainable products without compromising on quality or performance.
At MANERA, we strive to minimize our environmental impact with each collection, and to make thoughtful choices in every aspect. From solar-powered factories to bio-based foam for our wetsuits, every decision reflects our commitment to a better industry and better future.
Staying green isn’t a selling point: it’s a responsibility, and part of who we are.
Our desire has always been to produce durable, high-performance, timeless products. We think this is the best way for us to be more environmentally friendly, but also to conduct business and to be proud of our work.
Our products last over time; they do not go out of fashion after six months. We have very few after-sales service requests (less than 0.3% on our harnesses for example). We do not overproduce to then sell everything at knock-down prices, and we only sell to specialized shops. Therefore, the basis of our business is sound.

NEOPRENE RECYCLING / MANERA X CIRCULAR FLOW
This new partnership hopes to address the neoprene waste problem by collecting wetsuits and neoprene items at local shops to then turn them into new and useful neoprene products.
As a first step, we are launching this recycling program in select shops around France. Our goal is to collect and recycle between 2 000 and 2 500 wetsuits in 2023. Down the road, our main objective is to achieve neutrality and recycle as many wetsuits as we produce.
MANERA invites you to drop off your end-of-life or redundant wetsuits from any brand at any of our partner's shops during their opening hours.
TRIPS
Our goal is to inspire people to get out of their homes and into the water no matter what the conditions. This often involves us moving around, which has an impact on the planet.
On our last trip to Kamchatka, Russia, we took steps to reduce global carbon emissions by offsetting 100 tons of carbon emissions.
On each of our MANERA trips, we will commit ourselves to have the smallest impact possible on the planet which is, today, our most beautiful playground.
GREEN TOUCH / WORLD CLEAN UP DAY
September 19th was World clean-up day. MANERA took the lead and gathered a small group of people to collect the trashes on a local beach.
We know we won’t save the planet with our little jute bags, but it is more about inspiring, setting an example, and encourage people to throw their cigarette butts in a trash.
We’ll keep you informed of the next clean-up on our @manerawatermen page.
Let's stay green.
ETHICS
From the materials used in our products, to supply chain logistics and daily operations, this CSR audit provides a holistic view of our carbon emissions. Its findings laid the foundation for strategic initiatives and tangible actions, and for fostering a culture of sustainability within our organization.
