We offer complete transparency on how our products and processes reduce environmental impact, whether that’s through the use of recycled and bio‑based materials, waste reduction initiatives, or the strict avoidance of harmful substances. We continuously invest in energy‑efficient technologies, greener production methods, and rigorous chemical management to ensure our products safeguard both users and the environment. By driving ecological transformation, promoting circular‑economy innovation, and embedding social responsibility throughout our operations, we are committed to delivering PPE solutions that are not only high‑performing and durable but also respectful of natural resources and future generations.

With this system, you can see at a glance ​which aspects of the product design actively contribute to the reduction of ​CO2, resource conservation and a circular economy — clearly, comprehensibly and with direct focus on the product. ![CO2 Footprint](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/fileadmin/www.uvex-safety.co.uk/Media/sustainability/300-co2-footprint.svg?1767884615 "CO2 Footprint") ### CO₂ Footprint For products marked with this symbol, we calculated the CO2 footprint along the value creation chain using the method set out in the ISO 14067 standard.​ In this way, the emissions of our products can be measured, compared and specifically reduced.​ **Calculation method**: IPCC 2021 GWP100 (based on ISO 14067); SimaPro with ecoinvent database; Scope: Cradle-to-Customer; The CO2 values provided were valid at the time of calculation and may be subject to change due to database or methodology updates. ![Materials](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/fileadmin/www.uvex-safety.co.uk/Media/sustainability/300-materials.svg?1767884615 "Materials") ### Materials Products featuring this symbol contain innovative materials, such as bio-based materials, materials that can be composted at home or recycled materials.​ Recycled materials covers both post-consumer recycling materials (PCR) and post-industrial recycling materials (PIR).​ ![Packaging](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/fileadmin/www.uvex-safety.co.uk/Media/sustainability/300-packaging.svg?1767884615 "Packaging") ### Packaging Products with this symbol feature more environmentally friendly packaging. For example, this can be packaging that is either 100 % recycled or can be composted at home, or packaging may not be required at all. ![Circularity](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/fileadmin/www.uvex-safety.co.uk/Media/sustainability/300-circularity.svg?1767884615 "Circularity") ### Circularity Products with this symbol actively support the objectives of the circular economy. For example, these products are designed to last for a particularly long time, are recyclable, are intended to be used a second time or can be repaired.​ --- ### uvex pheos nxt planet ![uvex pheos nxt
