uvex 1 G2 planet — 100% performance, 30% recycled
Recycled down to the last crumb: From the upper to the sole, the new uvex 1 G2 planet offers both sustainability and performance in one. The injected polyurethane midsole contains up to 20% granulate made using PU waste from our production processes. In accordance with DIN EN ISO 14021:2016, it consists of 30% recycled materials in terms of weight, without compromising its protective properties or comfort compared to the well-known uvex 1 G2 models. Many of the shoes components, such as the outer shoe material and insole, are made from 100% recycled materials.
