As part of their curriculum, students from the Mast\u00e8re Sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9\u00ae International Environmental Management (EnvIM) program at ISIGE \u2013 MINES Paris \u2013 PSL took part in a hands-on project exploring a key topic in ecological transition: shifting from a traditional sales model to a Product-Service System (PSS) in collaboration with Decathlon France.<\/p>\n
Rethinking Ownership to Reduce Environmental Impact<\/p>\n
The Product-Service System model promotes access over ownership, offering rental or subscription-based alternatives to purchasing. The goal is clear: produce fewer goods, extend product lifespans, and ultimately reduce environmental impacts.<\/p>\n
Working alongside Decathlon experts, students focused on two specific product lines :<\/p>\n
Climbing crash pads (Simond brand)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Equestrian protective vests (Fouganza brand)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The students examined the feasibility of transitioning these products to a service-oriented model, addressing environmental benefits, organizational requirements, and current technical, economic, and logistical constraints.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From Analysis to Action : Recommendations and Exchange<\/p>\n
In early May, the students presented their findings and strategic recommendations to the Decathlon teams, including:<\/p>\n
Ways to improve product lifespan<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Conditions needed to develop an effective rental service<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Required organizational and logistical adjustments<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Current challenges and limitations, such as maintenance, user perception, and reuse potential<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The final session led to a constructive discussion between the students and professionals from the Simond and Fouganza teams, offering a valuable cross-perspective on circular economy strategies in the sports industry.<\/p>\n
A Collaborative Learning Experience<\/p>\n
ISIGE Mines Paris -PSL warmly thanks Lucile Cazaux, project manager at Decathlon France, as well as Corentin Cuvelier, Giorgio Leonardi, and \u00c9ponine Bottineau from the Fouganza team, and Jean-Charles Laugt and Alice de La Fabergue from Simond, for their generous time and insightful contributions.<\/p>\n
Special thanks to Dr. R\u00e9mi Beulque for co-designing and coordinating this engaging project with the EnvIM students.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":2964,"template":"","actualites-formats":[15],"actualites-thematiques":[21],"class_list":["post-2963","actualites","type-actualites","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
