Under the Oniverse umbrella, the Calzedonia brand benefits from a vertically integrated production model which will allow tights production to move to a “closed loop” model — the holy grail that is the hope of the textile industry. “We produce most of our garments, and especially the tights that we sell,” said Oniverse Group head of sustainability Federico Fraboni. The aim is to get to zero-waste on tights production in three years. Blind trials of the recycled tights yielded positive results, Fraboni said. The company said it operates three production facilities dedicated solely to tights and two others that manufacture both tights and socks, located between Italy and Croatia.
