Oceano Surfwear has incorporated Polygiene’s Stay Fresh anti-odor treatment into a shirt collection, called Legends, developed in cooperation with a Brazilian surfing champion, Everaldo “Pato” Teixeira. The shirts, says Polygiene, “come with a guarantee that you can wear more and wash less – lightening the load on our planet and our oceans.” Polygiene’s CEO, Ulrika Björk, notes that Brazil has a “huge local market” that “has recently started to take off,” and is therefore a prime area for the company’s growth over the next few years. “The fact that Brazil is starting to be an important player within the surfing world, where our technologies are a perfect fit, is of course a great added benefit as well.” Oceano Surfwear
 was founded in 1980, in the Brazilian city of Joinville, as a manufacturer of surfboards. The brand now has 766 points of sale and a flagship concept store in the surfing destination of Balneario Camboriu, in Brazil’s southern state of Santa Catarina.
