The uvex brand is our responsibility We have been producing and selling high-quality products for the protection of people in sport, leisure and work for over 90 years. And if you want to protect people, you have to take responsibility. It is precisely from this mission that our obligation derives to act in a sustainable, social and socially-responsible manner. In the PPE sector, the use of recycled or bio-based materials must not impair the protective properties under any circumstances — this makes the search for and use of sustainable materials a major challenge. Nevertheless, we have succeeded in qualifying suitable recycled and bio-based (and, in some cases, mass-balanced**) materials, which can be processed and used in the manufacture of some of our top sellers: Sustainability without compromising quality experience sustainability Conserving resources, reducing waste Instead of disposing of all parts of the safety eyewear, we make it easy to replace the lens so that the frame can be used for longer.
