About Swedish Stockings

Each year, two billion pairs of tights are produced, worn a few times and then discarded, making the textile industry the second most polluting industry in the world. Landfills are full of low quality and cheap non-biodegradable textiles - and it's getting worse. Nylon yarn is currently used to produce most modern pantyhose and is created from an environmentally harmful petroleum-based manufacturing process that is not only bad for the planet, but also produces pantyhose that don't last.

These harmful practices in the fashion industry are all too common. We believe the world needs more innovative and environmentally conscious products to lead the way, and so Swedish Stockings was born. A forerunner in sustainably produced nylon stockings, Swedish Stockings produce beautiful pantyhose from recycled yarn. Our factories engage in sustainable practices including the use of eco-friendly dyes, post-dyeing water treatment and solar power for much of the energy needed in the production process.

Our Mission

We want to reinvent the entire hosiery industry. We create our pantyhose from both pre and post-consumer nylon waste. The production process is less harmful to the environment than traditional nylon production and we are consistently looking for innovative and cleaner ways to produce - conserving or reusing water, decreasing emissions, reducing and recycling waste.

Recycling Program

Thousands of stockings have been recycled thanks to our recycling program. Contact us to learn more about it and become part of the solution, not the cause.
