Salomon Launches Repair Programme For Clothing And Bags
Salomon have announced the launch in the UK of its repair service programme, allowing customers to easily organise repair of Salomon clothing and bags.
Salomon products are designed to withstand demanding environments, but wear and tear are part of any adventure. Extending the life of clothes by 9 months would reduce its carbon, water and waste footprint by 20-30%, according to a study from Environmental Coalition on Standards. Another study from WRAP shows that repairing a rip in your waterproof jacket instead of buying a new one could save over 45kg CO2e, equivalent to running almost 300 washing cycles.
Simple & Transparent Process
This repair programme provides a simple pathway for customers to repair their gear rather than replacing it. Customers can access the service through a dedicated online platform with a simple and transparent process: users complete a repair request form online, receive a shipping label, send their product to the repair hub, and receive the repaired item back within 7 to 10 days. The customers pays for the repair itself, while Salomon covers the shipping costs.
