Petzl - Impact Report 2022

100,000 metric tons of waste generates:

7,000 jobs if reused

250 jobs if recycled

30 jobs if incinerated

10 jobs if sent to the landfill

According to the National Center for Independent Information on Waste (CNIID):

For example, VALORALP created a part-time role to manage the collection of cardboard from Petzl.

In the current context of resource depletion and rising energy prices, reuse makes perfect sense.

SOCIAL IMPACT

Reusing cardboard also contributes to generating local job opportunities.

PETZL IN 2022

VALORALP BASE CALCULATION

Working in the industrial field, I noticed that there was a significant amount of material being thrown away that could be reused. On one hand, businesses were throwing out perfectly good cardboard boxes, while on the other hand, e-merchants were buying new ones. I decided to create VALORALP in 2020, with a goal to fight against waste, preserve resources, and give a second life to paper and cardboard boxes.

VALORALP: Experts In Reuse

In our industry, it is common for companies to recycle used materials like cardboard and paper. However, these materials can often be reused and given a second life before being thrown away.

Repurposing materials is at the heart of what our partners do at VALORALP, located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in France. We resell them dozens of metric tons of cardboard per year. In addition to reducing our costs and contributing to the development of our local economy, this solution also allows us to reduce our environmental impact.
