When we talk about “protection”, we don’t just mean a person’s physical safety. We also consider the entire environment in which they operate, be that on a social, ecological or economical scale. Through our **[protecting planet](https://www.uvex-safety.co.uk/en/about-uvex/how-we-work/protecting-planet)** commitment, we are making a promise to protect society and the environment. This means that we monitor, evaluate and optimise all the steps in the value creation chain in a comprehensive manner to produce the most durable and sustainable personal protective equipment that we can. ##### Using bio-based material / recycled material The **RUN-R PLANET** is made from recycled and bio-based materials. Manufactured without using any harmful substances - we eliminate 167 harmful substances from our production operations, well beyond the 73 substances specified by REACH requirements. ##### Using environmentally-friendly packaging The shoe boxes are made from **90% recycled cardboard**. **100% recycled tissue** paper is used and the instructions for use are also **100% recycled paper.** ### Register your interest Fill in our form to set up a product trial for any of our safety footwear ### Using bio-based material NATURAL BAMBOO FIBRE: Hard-wearing, and extremely comfortable We believe that bio-based materials (materials from natural and renewable sources) are the future. Consequently, 18% of the lining in our **RUN-R PLANET 100** safety footwear is made using natural bamboo fibres. Bamboo’s rapid growth, together with its ability to grow back without the need for fertiliser or pesticides and its ability to adapt easily to different environments, make it a particularly sustainable plant that is increasingly found in a wide range of products. Bamboo fibre is known for its excellent moisture-absorption properties and can absorb up to three times its own weight in water. This means it is guaranteed to keep your feet dry and prevent any discomfort caused by excessive perspiration, even after a long, physical working day. ![NATURAL BAMBOO FIBRE ](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/oBn8Kv3vV2ZnuQGamV7AXv4C8zyn34Dc54cTBhooWDk/w:345/h:224/fn:Y3NtXzU0MC1iYW1ib28tZmlicmVfMWE0ZDVkYmVlMw:t/cb:9d079a5e5a34a344956fa2ceec92c8a1bc9ed6ad/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2hlY2tlbC81NDAtYmFtYm9vLWZpYnJlLmpwZz8xNzI0ODM1MDAx "NATURAL BAMBOO FIBRE") Watch the video ----------------- ![RUN-R PLANET : the recycled and bio-based safety shoe](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/fileadmin/_processed_/1/0/csm_RUN-R_PLANET___the_recycled_and_bio-based_safety_shoe_d1538b6220.png "RUN-R PLANET : the recycled and bio-based safety shoe") Heckel RUN-R PLANET features ------------------------------ | **DOUBLE-DENSITY PU SOLE** | Anatomically shaped sole helps support the foot, offering excellent shock absorption properties to help minimise potential back, knee and joint problems. | |---|---| | **SELF-CLEANING SOLE PROFILE** | Prevents dirt from building up and increases slip resistance (SR rated). | | **GRIPSTEP SOLE PROFILE** | For extra support and comfort when climbing ladders.Additional grooves on the sole at the heel and toe provide better grip as foot strikes the ground and pushes off. | | **METAL-FREE TOE CAP** | Non-metallic toe cap reduces the weight, helping to reduce wearer fatigue. | | **METAL-FREE PENETRATION-RESISTANT MIDSOLE** | Extremely flexible non-metallic penetration-resistant midsole covers 100% of the footbed. | | **BREATHABLE TEXTILE TONGUE** | Stretch gussets help keep dirt and liquids out. | | **SUITABLE FOR** | • Logistics • Warehousing • Tradespeople • Manufacturing • Dry environments | ![RUN-R PLANET features](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/l1zkY1O5vsjCB7Z0Z7POY6YF-wkqh0ITVc0gcpcHfp8/w:345/h:345/fn:Y3NtXzUwMC1ydW4tci1wbGFuZXQtZmVhdHVyZXNfMWQ0ZDExNWU5Yg:t/cb:2ae6eca5246cc6dd4a2a47abf6e6f8128aa59ba5/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvLnVrL01lZGlhL2hlY2tlbC81MDAtcnVuLXItcGxhbmV0LWZlYXR1cmVzLmpwZz8xNzI0MjM3NjI2 "RUN-R PLANET features") ### Non-metal protective toecap -
