uvex and heckel @ Expo PROTECTION 2022 - Hall1, booth M31
EXPO PROTECTION is the international event that brings all risk managements markets together. Professional and Industrial Risks, Security and Firefighting. Uvex and Heckel once again attended Expoprotection fair in Porte de Versailles from November 15-17 at their joint booth.
The focus for this year's trade fair was sustainability. This is because as a group of companies, our goal is to protect all our empoyees, customers and partners in the most complete sense - environmentally, socailly and financially. this is reflected in our sustainablility motto "protecting planet": a group-wide concept that redefines sustainability within the uvex group.
At our booth M31 in hall 1 there was not only our mission "protecting planet" to discover on all levels in the various product families of the uvex safety group and Heckel, but also our new safety shoes RUN-R Planet.

Safety shoes
From the upper to the sole, the new uvex 1 G2 planet offers both sustainability and performance in one. The particularly lightweight safety shoes meet the requirements of standard DIN EN ISO 14021:2016 and are made up of – in terms of their weight – up to 25% recycled materials, without sacrificing their protective qualities and degree of comfort compared with the well-known uvex 1 G2 models.

Workwear
The uvex suXXeed greencycle planet is the first uvex workwear collection to be fully compostable. All the materials we use are certified according to the Cradle to Cradle™ principle and are 100% biodegradable. Including the packaging!
Safety Gloves
A smooth fit thanks to natural bamboo fibres and the high, rapid-action moisture-absorbing capacity of the uvex Bamboo TwinFlex® D xg ensure long-lasting comfort and high wearer acceptance. With a flexible fit thanks to the natural bamboo fibre, the glove adapts precisely to fit the shape of the hand within 3 to 5 minutes of wearing.
Hearing protection
For the ergonomically shaped handles of the xact-fit planet, 100 percent recycled polypropylene is used. The oval-shaped foam plugs are subject to strict controls and have a maximum reduction of harmful substances. These innovative ear plugs fit the human ear perfectly, as they have been modeled on the anatomy of the ear canal.
Safety Glasses
The uvex i-range planet is the sustainable extension of our new 3in1 safety eyewear range, which covers almost every risk and work area with optimal products. We use recycled and bio-based materials for our innovative safety eyewear - in the interest of an environmentally friendly and resource-saving production. The quality of our safety eyewear (e.g. mechanical strength, UV protection, design and comfort) are not affected in any way.
Safety Helmets
An important part of the planet series product system is the uvex pheos planet helmet shell. The helmet shell is made of up to 30 per cent bioplastic. The organic raw material, sugar cane, is converted using a process that complies with the strictest quality requirements and achieves high stability and strength. 50 percent of the material for the headband is made of ground helmet shells.
