protecting planet by reducing waste
To protect the environment, the uvex group works to cut waste at as many different places as possible. To this end, we regularly scrutinise the use of resources in our production facilities on site in order to verify to what extent procedures and processes can be improved. The first specific example of a measure we are implementing in this context is a concerted effort to reduce cardboard material by changing packaging sizes and reusing shipping boxes. In the case of trade fair equipment, the uvex group also relies on a loan concept – this guarantees that the materials can be reused by other companies at a later date.
Note: As regulatory requirements for environmental and sustainability claims continue to evolve, we are further developing our sustainability communications. Products that were previously labeled “protecting planet” will be marketed under the new “responsible performance” labeling concept going forward. Both labels represent our commitment to considering environmental and social aspects in product development and manufacturing. Since the transition in our communications is taking place gradually, you may currently see both labels.
