Arc'teryx introduces System 0™

Arc'teryx has introduced System 0™, a new framework designed to embed circularity across a product's entire lifecycle, from design and sourcing to repair and end-of-life recovery. 'System 0™ represents a fundamental shift in how we build and scale our business with circularity front of mind,' said Stuart Haselden, CEO of Arc'teryx. The first product built on this platform is the Sperro SV, a multisport mountain-grade hardshell jacket engineered for durability, repairability, and disassembly at end of life. It's built with GORE-TEX Pro fabric and developed for recyclability in partnership with Aquafil, the manufacturer of ECONYL® regenerated nylon. Sperro SV includes reinforced failure points and three years of unlimited, out-of-warranty repairs through Arc'teryx's ReBIRD™ program. When no longer repairable, its materials can be chemically recycled and returned to Aquafil to become new ECONYL® yarn. Sperro SV is also the first product certified under TESTEX® Circularity, a standard Arc'teryx co-developed to address a gap in circular product certification.
