Flo Dancewear Sustainability

Caring for your tiny dancer

Little ballet dancers are our future and we want to ensure we are taking an active step in looking after their world.

At Flo Dancewear we are striving to deliver our gorgeous, soft, classic dancewear in the same quality you’ve come to love whilst reducing our impact on the environment to contribute to a more sustainable future.

Introducing LENZING™ ECOVERO™

A key step in our sustainable journey is the introduction of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres to our dancewear collection. LENZING™ ECOVERO™  is a cleaner and greener fibre than regular viscose with the same soft, luxury hand feel.

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ is derived from certified renewable wood using eco-responsible production processes. Compared with regular viscose, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ uses up to 50% less water during production and is up to 50% lower in CO2 emissions.

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres are certified with the internationally recognized EU Ecolabel for textile products (license no. AT/016/001) so you can be assured your choices are sensitive to environmental concerns.

Pink Hero Pack Mailers

Sustainable Packaging

Your orders are now delivering in HEROPACK compostable mailers. Unlike traditional shipping mailers, these are NOT made from plastic. HEROPACK mailers are made from mostly plant-based materials such as PLA and a certified compostable material called PBAT (some seriously fancy ways of saying corn starch and bonding agents).

Not only are they compostable but reusable too! When you receive your parcel, cut along the line on the flap and re-use it with the second adhesive (glue) strip. Once composted properly, the HEROPACKs will start to break down and turn into amazing fertiliser for the garden. This takes about 3-4 months.

Carbon Neutral Shipping

We are now offsetting our shipments to help protect forests in the fight against climate change. Using Shopify Planet all our customer shipments are now carbon-neutral and support some of the most promising climate projects on Earth.

We hope to continue dancing into a greener future with our precious little dancers, taking leaps and twirls as we go.
