Patagonia has announced that they will be producing the first wetsuits in the world made from a plant-based alternative to neoprene. From accounts they have partnered with Yulex Corporation to make wetsuits using guayule, "a renewable, non-food crop that requires very little water, is grown domestically in the US, uses no pesticides, and in comparison to traditional neoprene, has a very clean manufacturing process."
