Ecoalf is a Madrid-founded fashion brand (2009) that designs apparel, footwear, and accessories with recycled and lower-impact materials, including yarns linked to ocean plastic recovery. In 2018 it became the first fashion company in Spain to achieve B Corp certification.
Through the Ecoalf Foundation and the Upcycling the Oceans project, the company works with fishing communities to collect seabed waste that would otherwise be discarded. Public materials cite more than 2.1 million kilos of waste recovered from the seafloor, with a portion of plastic transformed into Ocean Yarn used across outerwear, footwear, and accessories.
Ecoalf's pitch is practical: clothes people actually want to wear, made from materials that keep waste in play. For buyers looking for European circular fashion with a visible ocean story and B Corp accountability, it is one of the clearer names in the category.

B Corp certification anchors social and environmental accountability while product design carries recycled content into everyday outerwear and accessories.
