At uvex, safety is the top priority, not just for individuals but also for our planet. In line with the ‘protecting people’ mission, they are also revealing a new mission that protects both society and the environment: 'protecting planet'.

This vision is central to the quest for sustainability and social responsibility. uvex sets the bar high in terms of quality requirements and combines this with the development of recycling concepts and the use of recycled and bio-based materials.

Transparency in sustainability: Calculating CO2 footprint

One of the cornerstones of the uvex sustainability initiative is the calculation of the CO₂-footprint for all their new products, according to the ISO 14067 standard. The results of these calculations will be broken down into four aspects:

• Materials
• Production
• Transport
• Packaging

This transparency allows uvex to gain and provide insights into the environmental impact of their products. They can also support their customers in calculating and reducing emissions.

Sustainable safety goggles ‘protecting planet’

The ‘protecting planet’ mission encompasses a series of sustainable safety goggles. All of the goggles are equipped with the uvex supravision excellence coating, which makes the exterior extremely scratch (K) and chemical resistant and the interior condensation-free (N).

• uvex pheos nxt planet: The sporty design offers optimum protection and the special design of the adjustable side-arms ensures excellent grip around the ears.

• uvex super OTG planet: These classic safety goggles have been specially designed to be worn over your spectacles. Thanks to the flexible side-arms with soft ends, the goggles offer a comfortable and robust fit without pressure points. 

• uvex sportstyle planet (beige): The uvex sportstyle boasts a sporty and light design, which combines optimum functionality and protection. This variant also offers protection against chemicals.

• uvex sportstyle planet (Black): The uvex sportstyle boasts a sporty and light design, which combines optimum functionality and protection. This black variant, in contrast to the beige option, does not protect the wearer against chemicals.

• uvex ultravision planet: Wide-vision goggles that are comfortable for long periods without pressure points. The flexible frame fits every type of face and offers full protection of the eye area.

• uvex megasonic planet: Optimum vision even in challenging circumstances thanks to the innovative lens design. The uvex megasonic planet can also be worn over spectacles.

The benefits of uvex safety goggles

• Coatings: They integrate scratch-proofing and anti-condensation coatings to guarantee clear vision even under the most challenging circumstances. This not only reduces the risk of accidents but also extends the period for which they can be worn. In the long term, this reduces both waste and costs.
• Sustainable – recycled materials: Where possible, recycled materials have been used (e.g. polyamide and PET bottles). This is done without compromising the protective features of the goggles.
• Cost-savings in the long term: Investing in quality ultimately leads to cost-savings in the long term. Cheap alternatives may seem to be more appealing but the higher replacement frequency and lower sustainability often result in higher overall costs and more waste. uvex safety goggles have been designed to last, offering both reliable protection and making them a sustainable choice for both your budget and our planet.
