Sustainable from the Start

Parietti was formed to create unique and high-end cycling apparel, with the least environmental impact possible. Manufacturing sportswear has a damaging effect on our planet. Whether it's the process of creating virgin polyester from crude oil, contributing to landfills with cheap throwaway clothing or polluting oceans with plastic packaging.

We want to help protect where we ride, by promoting and leading the way on more sustainable ways to produce and deliver cycling apparel. It's not an easy route to take, but we're proud of what we’ve achieved so far. It defines what we do and we’ll always strive to improve.

Made in the Med

All our garments are currently made in Italy. Our Jersey fabric is also made in Italy, and our Base Layer fabric is made in Spain.

We keep our production local to the Mediterranean. Based in Mallorca, we are surrounded by countries with some of the best manufacturers of cycling apparel in the world. This minimises our carbon footprint and ensures the factories we use are of the highest standards.

Crafted by Experts

We want to push the boundaries within cycling apparel by marrying great design and long lasting, quality garments with a responsible and sustainable approach.

All our garments are designed by experts in the UK who have created ranges for pro-cycling teams and global cycling brands. Our family-run Italian factories are specialists, with generational experience in producing premium cycling apparel.

Fabrics

We are continuously looking to source the best sustainable fabrics, with performance and comfort in mind.

We only use M.I.T.I. Green Soul technology fabric for our Jerseys. This means each Jersey is made entirely from recycled yarns. This fabric combines 100% recycled fibres made from post-consumer plastic bottles and pre-consumer industrial waste, with the most environmentally friendly finishing processes. Every badge sewn onto our Jerseys, is made from 100% recycled polyester yarns.

Our mesh Base Layers are created from EcoRec sustainable mesh fabric. 74% of the fabric is made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.

From Recycled Plastic to Product

To create our fabrics, plastic bottles are collected, then cleaned, shredded and re-ground into polymer chips. These are then re-spun and constructed into high quality sportswear fabrics, without any compromise on performance or comfort.

This process uses 50% less energy and 30% less water than standard production practices which extracts new polyester from fossil fuels.

Packaging

All our product and delivery packaging has Leave No Trace in mind. We use The Better Packaging Co for all our garment bags and mailers.

100% of all our garment apparel bags are certified home compostable.

Made from corn starch, just put them in with your food scraps and garden waste, and before you know it, worms will be eating them for breakfast.

100% of all our mailing envelopes are reusable, recyclable and naturally biodegradable.

In a revolutionary process, limestone off-cuts destined for landfill are transformed into envelopes using only renewable solar power. They are tough, durable and waterproof. But they can be reused, recycled and will naturally degrade in time and sunlight.
