uvex pheos nxt planet — protecting people and the planet
uvex has developed the protecting planet icon, to help raise awareness of its commitment to achieving increased sustainability. Based on the brand claim, protecting people, our sustainable approach integrates three core interlinked pillars — ecology, economy and social responsibility, that are incorporated throughout the business to improve our sustainability performance. This explains the comprehensive audit, measurement and evaluation management process uvex undertakes along the entire value chain to ensure its products are as sustainable as possible.

Recycled materials
- Side arms: Hard component made from 32.5% recycled material, and soft components made from 47.4% recycled material, using waste from the recycling bin
- Lens: Made of 100% mass-balanced polycarbonate** offering the same mechanical impact resistance but with a reduced carbon footprint.
Environmentally friendly packaging
- Polyester bag film: Up to 70% recycled material from production waste
- Cartons: Made of over 90% recycled paper
Environmentally friendly production
- Paper for instruction manuals: 30% reduction
- Packing units: Increase from 5 to 10 pairs of spectacles reduces packaging material and causes less waste
* As of 08/2023. Calculation method: IPCC 2021 GWP 100a (based on ISO 14067) SimaPro 9.4.02 ecoinvent database 3.8. Scope: cradle-to-customer. These CO2 values are valid at the time of calculation and may be subject to change.
** Mass-balanced products are products whose production has been proven to use bio-based raw materials or primary products within a specified scope and without biogenic carbon being reliably detectable in the final product. Mass balancing is a bookkeeping method (e.g. for the proportion of recycled materials) for recording and tracking the mass flows of plastics along the entire value creation chain. In this process, fossil-based raw materials are replaced during production, for example through the replacement of CO2, biomass or secondary raw materials from chemical recycling. Since the mass-balanced approach is a bookkeeping method, the exact proportion of recycled materials in the product cannot be determined exactly.
