BALLET TIGHTS FOR DANCERS

WHY SUSTAINABLE TIGHTS?

Each year, 8 billion pairs of tights are produced, worn a few times and then discarded. This contributes to make the clothing industry the second most polluting industry in the world. Landfills everywhere are full of poorly made, cheap non-biodegradable nylon garments-and it’s getting worse.

Nylon yarn, which is currently used to produce most tights, is created from an environmentally harmful petroleum-based manufacturing process that leads to damaging carbon emissions. Not only that, but modern ballet tights are not made to last. These harmful practices in the fashion industry are all too common.

HOW THEY'RE MADE

Swedish Stocking's factories only use energy from renewable resources, such as wind or solar. Most of them have their own solar panels, and produce between 35-80% of their own energy. The remaining energy is derived from renewable certified third party. 

Their dyeing facility use equipment resulting in a 20% less energy consumption as well as re-using 50% of the water, whilst the remaining 50% is purified in a specifically designed pool system, leaving it fit to use again after one week.

Apart from this, the factories pay close attention ensuring to avoid overproduction, any leftover yarns are used to produce samples. They collaborate with specialised companies to ensure that all paper and plastic is purposely recycled.

RECYCLING YOUR TIGHTS

Most ballet tights are very cheap to produce, as they are made in factories with poor conditions, where workers are underpaid. So most of the price with those tights is profit. With our tights, you get a superior quality product which is ethically made in Italy in an 100% emission free factory. We are making superior tights with the future in mind, not just profit.
