"Pant" - a deposit is given for all worn out Vain Dane Athletic clothes, when returned to us.

On all Vain Dane Athletic's sportswear we have included a return deposit, which is paid out as a one-off discount code of 15% to the webshop when worn out Vain Dane Athletic sportswear is returned.

What's the point?

In Denmark alone its estimated that each person annually buys 13,2 kilos of textiles. That comes to 85.000 tons annually. Of those 54% are discarded and burned. The other 46% is given to charity domestically and internationally (accordingly to Miljøstyrelsen 2016, Kortlægning af tekstilflows i Danmark).

Our clothes shopping and consumption is increasing with the consumer using the clothes less and less. In average a T-shirt is worn 5 times before it's thrown out. We want to change this behaviour with both longer lasting clothes, but also a circular production where the product lifecycle is countered into each piece of clothing we produce. 

By taking back the worn out clothes, we are able to recycle the clothes along with the cut-offs and scraps from the production and make it into other products. 

How does it work?

You send your clothes back to us and send us a message with information about, which garments you have returned. You will then receive a discount code for a one off 15% discount to use in our webshop. 

We are working on establishing drop off points, where the worn out clothes can be dropped off to reduce the CO2 offset of sending a parcel.

Is it for all sportswear brands?

No, only Vain Dane Athletic sportswear.
