Packaging
The Moncler Group is committed to reducing packaging materials,
as well as to researching and adopting lower-impact alternatives
compared to conventional solutions. In recent years, the Group
has also launched several programmes to improve packaging
design, with a particular focus on recyclability and reusability3.
All packaging products for end clients and used in logistics
processes are made with “preferred” materials.
In order to promote recyclability, where possible, the use of a
single material for the packaging of each item has been foreseen
and at the Castel San Giovanni (Piacenza) logistics hub a recycling
process was implemented, involving a private partner operating
at the facility to ensure proper, ef fective management of the
recycling of packaging materials. In 2024, 80% of the materials
used for packaging (both logistical and intended for end clients)
were both recyclable and recycled.Regarding reusability3, 79% of
the packaging intended for end clients was reusable, showing an
increase compared with 2023 (72%).
Among initiatives to reduce weight and materials used,
Stone Island, in 2021, replaced the traditional stone paper used
for its shopping bags with recycled paper, resulting in a 35%
reduction in the weight of each bag. Furthermore, over the years
the Group has eliminated the single-use plastic packaging
used for the logistic transport of shoes, and a procedure has
been introduced to optimise the amount of packaging used
for the internal shipment of samples of fabric and accessories
between the various corporate functions, with consequent
savings in the materials used. In addition, bands were eliminated
from the Group’s logistics packaging in 2023.
For years, Moncler’s e-commerce channel has allowed
clients to choose between two types of packaging made from
“preferred” materials:
•“Signature” packaging: products are presented in a reusable
Moncler box, tied with a tricolour ribbon. The external logistics
box is made from 100% recycled paper from responsibly
managed forests, while the inner box is composed of over 50%
recycled sources The inner garment covers as well as
the hangers included with the down jackets are made from
postconsumer recycled plastic materials In addition
lastmile delivery is done through the UPS
carbon neutral
service for the Americas and EMEA Regions whereas
for Korea and Japan Moncler neutralises emissions through
compensating projects
Moncler Born To Protect packaging used for 80 of orders
in 2024 that uses a reduced number of packaging layers
packaging products with lightweight and reusable materials
The external logistics box is always made from 100% recycled
paper from responsibly managed forests, while the inner bags,
as well as the hangers, are made of post-consumer recycled
plastic. For this type of packaging as well, last-mile delivery
takes place through the “UPS
®
carbon neutral” service for
the Americas and EMEA Regions, with emissions compensating
in Korea and Japan.
Regarding the application of alternatives with a lower impact
compared to conventional ones, for the materials used in total
packaging4, for both Moncler and Stone Island, 72% consists of
paper and cardboard sourced from responsibly managed forests
and made from 84% recycled materials (2 percentage points more
than in 2023). Approximately 17% of the materials used in
the Group’s packaging are plastic, made from 99% recycled
and 1% bio-based and compostable materials. Since 2023,
all single-use virgin plastic from fossil origin has been eliminated.
The third most used material (7%) is wood, represented by reused
logistics pallets. The remaining materials include synthetic f ibres,
100% recycled; natural materials; artif icial materials; and metals
and other.
