Do Eco Friendly Tights Exist?

Is it possible to wear tights in a sustainable & zero waste way?
This is the system I've come up with so far. It's definitely not perfect, but it's the best I've got!
All input is appreciated. Is there anything I'm missing?
PS I'm British so they're just tights to me, but I'm also talking about pantyhose, stockings, hosiery & whatever else you might call them!

    This is a great video! I love your ways to use and re-use old tights, and your explanation of fabric recycling. Super helpful, now I have a short video I can share with people when I need to explain this to them :)

    Great video! I'm the same freezing all year round. I never ever get my legs out they're covered all year long. I use Ecosia too! Have you heard of snagtights? They don't use any plastic packaging at all and are £6.99 they come in some great colours too! I've not tried them yet, but they're on my list to try. Their feedback is great!.

    I’ve heard good things about them! If they brought out recycled tights I’d definitely try them 🙂

    Hey Lottie! Great video. Did you know that recycled fabrics actually shed more plastic fibres than first-generation plastic fabrics. Also you can hand wash in a bucket, and then filter the waste water though the Guppy Bag to catch any fibres :) You can watch our review here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mqGA26Z6pqyeZqQ.html
