During the year, Mips has divided the focus area “our products” into two categories: our products related to environment and our products related to helmet safety.
Mips constantly strives to limit its impact on the climate and the environment, which is continually assessed along with the sustainability of the supply chain and the products and their actual impact on the world. Mips continued the mapping of the total climate impact of its operations during the year.
During 2023, we reduced emissions per solution by an average around 20.8%.
Sustainable societal development is extremely important for us, we believe that our technology and products lead to a more sustainable society since they are designed to improve helmet protection for both recreational and professional use. Improved helmet protection leads to increased safety and security while reducing risk for both short-term and long-term sick leave, as well as permanent injury.
It’s recommended to replace a bike helmet every 3-5 years, depending on usage and wear and tear. However, if the helmet has been involved in a crash, it should be replaced immediately, as the impact could have compromised its effectiveness in protecting your head.
Helmets are considered a safety item, which can make it challenging to determine the appropriate recycling methods. Regulations for recycling various materials may vary depending on the country or region in which you reside. Nevertheless, the fundamentals remain constant: attempt to remove as many helmet components as feasible for separation.
