Sustainability
Product

The most sustainable product is the one that lasts, and designing durable, high-quality, functional products that can be repaired rather than replaced, has long been part of our business heritage.

We are committed to our work to accelerate and expand the use of more sustainable materials in our products and packaging, maintaining durability as we move further away from virgin feedstock, advance towards more circular solutions and reduce our product carbon footprint.


OUR GOALS & 2025 PROGRESS



OUR PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY FRAMEWORK

Throughout 2025, we continued to further develop the requirements and tiers of the Framework and advance our work across pillars. This year, we collaborated closely with cross-functional teams internally to define recycled content thresholds across each tier. In setting these thresholds, we referenced recognised certifications and standards to assess what is technically feasible today, balanced with innovation potential and all while prioritizing product durability and performance.

Our Sustainability Team has been working with brands and regions to embed the framework into systems and processes, adding granularity to existing goals, providing clear metrics and numerical targets to drive progress. Essential enablers to help us achieve our goals will be partnership with our suppliers and consumer engagement – for example to support circular technologies and systems change, recycled and sustainable materials availability, and behavior change.”

2025 PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS

We launched Double Red Dot design award-winning Samsonite Paralux Collection globally, scaling our leading product sustainability attributes into a core collection. Based on three-years of cross-functional global collaboration, the collection is rigorously tested and crafted to meet our high durability standards, while reducing environmental impact. The exterior shell is made with at least 50% recycled polypropylene, the pull handle tubes are made with 100% recycled aluminum, and the interior lining, mesh fabric, webbing and all zippers (tape and teeth) are made with 100% recycled PET – each component by weight. Paralux also features repairable wheels and pull-handles to extend product life.

Digital Product Passports

Introduced two new innovation-led limited editions: Samsonite Essens Circular and Proxis Circular, launching our first product incorporating 75% bio-circular material in the outer shell by weight and our first Digital Product Passports, detailing material origins, recycled materials, repair tips and end-of-life options.

Circularity and Repair

In 2025, we defined a global 2030 Repair Vision that will guide our work to further improve our repair offering and hosted our first ever Repair & Go week in select European stores, driving awareness among customers about our repair service offerings. 750 pieces of luggage were repaired during the event.

Sustainable Materials Guidance

In 2025, we finalized our Sustainable Materials Guidance, which provides guidelines on more sustainable options and alternatives for key materials. We began rolling out this guidance to internal teams, with plans to pilot it with selected suppliers in 2026. 

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2026

  • Continue roll out of our Sustainable Materials Guidance to internal teams and piloting it with additional suppliers.
  • Increase the share of certified recycled materials across our products’ key components.
  • Continue to advance repair solutions across regions, and coordinate with regional teams to develop roadmaps that address global repair challenges – focusing on strengthening the customer experience.
  • Building on insights from prior pilots in Europe, Asia and North America, we plan to launch a take-back pilot across select retail stores in the U.S. in 2026.
