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 .
