Repairability Focus On a Few Key Figures From 2024

Packaging — A Major Step Towards Zero Plastic

For the past five years, we’ve been committed to an ambitious project: eliminating plastics from all our packaging. This time,

the packaging for our VERTEX and STRATO professional helmets have been completely redesigned with sustainability in mind.

After years of research, we’ve implemented a plastic-free packaging solution. The new design replaces a plastic protective

cover with a removable sheet made of virgin fiber paper, which is 100% recyclable. The reinforced packaging is open on the sides

so customers can see the helmet color and the shelf display function has been updated. We also improved the stackability of the

packaging, reducing volume by 30% during shipping.

Our helmet packaging went from using 12 metric tons of plastic to using zero plastic — saving approximately 92 metric tons

of CO

per year.

Spare Parts

You can now visit this section on the Petzl website to find

a complete list of available spare parts, including detailed

descriptions and product compatibility. Depending on the part

and product category, there are two ways to access spare parts:

• Order spare parts directly: Approximately 80% of parts are

available to resellers on the Petzl Dealer website, or through

an authorized distributor for end users.

• Parts that require confirmation by our After Sales team: for safety

or compliance reasons, certain parts are not available for direct

order. For PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), it’s crucial to

ensure that you’ve selected the correct spare part and that it

is installed correctly.

The RIG Is Now Repairable!

Petzl is now working to identify which components experience the

most wear during the product design phase to make future repairs

easier. The new RIG descender is a perfect example — it’s available

in a repairable version. To meet the demands of intensive use and

provide a more sustainable solution, the cam and axle can now be

replaced using a repair kit (sold separately).

Extending the Usable Life

One key objective of our spare parts program is to extend the usable life of our products. Please note, this does not refer to extending

the maximum lifespan of a piece of equipment. Instead, it means that by replacing a worn or broken part on a product, we can avoid

throwing out a product that can still be made functional.

Repairability is a major challenge today, as we strive to consume less and extend the lifespan of products.

At Petzl, we’ve implemented a repair program that includes easier access to spare parts and repair services.

But we’ve taken it a step further: with the new RIG descender, repairability was built into the very heart of its design.

Our Commitment to Sustainability Giving Materials a Second Life Reducing Plastic Packaging

Since 2024, 21 tons of

rope scraps have been

given a second life — either

transformed into recycled

nylon or used as padding

material.

Each year, Petzl invests

1% of its revenue to

reduce its environmental

impact and make

its operations more

sustainable.

100% of our industrial waste is now

repurposed.

We reduced our plastic packaging by

70 tons, from 80 tons in 2021 to 10 tons

in 2024.
