Red Industry Green: zero-carbon safety shoes

Work shoes and eco-sustainability: how to reconcile the safety needs of workers who must use personal protective equipment with environmental sustainability?

U-Power has created a new range/assortment of safety shoes that are not limited to the use of recycled and renewably sourced materials but are totally Carbon Neutral.

In fact, the Red Industry Green line is the world's prime Carbon Neutral certified range/assortment; and it's U-Power!

What does it mean to choose aCarbon Neutral safety shoe ?

Carbon Neutral certified footwear follows manufacturing processes that have been optimized to achieve zero net carbon emissions.

This is achieved byusing materials with reduced environmental impact, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and offsetting residual emissions by purchasing carbon credits certified according to United Nations-recognized schemes and methodologies.

Let's look in more detail and explore this topic!

Let's take a closer look at the range/assortment

U-POWER AND ITS GREEN MANUFACTURING APPROACH

Through continuous research and development of new technologies, U-Power has succeeded in optimizing the production processes of the RED INDUSTRY GREEN range/assortment to the point of achieving total offsetting of carbon dioxide emissions from the production itself.

Choosing an environmentally sustainable approach means contributing to a circular economy for the environment that minimizes waste, reuses and recovers materials, reduces CO2 emissions, and offsets them with specific projects.

RED INDUSTRY GREENs use high percentages of recycled materials-polyamide and polyester-from the reuse of plastic bottles and post-industrial plastics and components derived from renewable sources, thus contributing to the fight against plastic pollution and the protection of nonrenewable raw materials.

But that's not enough.
For the production of these safety shoes, U-Power has optimized its production processes and joined the United Nations initiative - Climate Neutral Now - to achieve climate neutrality.

Climate Neutral Now involves the purchase of certified credits to offset the carbon dioxide produced that are used for specific projects with the goal of canceling the negative environmental impact caused by production processes.

The project chosen by U-Power contributes across the board to sustainable development goals and fully offsets its CO2 emissions, contributing not only to the fight against climate change but also to the economic development of the project's target geographic area.

GREEN MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR SUSTAINABLE WORK SHOES

Recycled and renewably sourcedmaterials, optimization of production processes, reduction of waste and carbon dioxide emissions, and CO2 offsetting have resulted in a CO2 offset-certified work shoes that guarantee the same safety and quality parameters as safety footwear using standard materials.

Let's take a detailed look at the Green materials and technologies used to make the safety footwear in the RED INDUSTRY GREEN range/assortment.

All RED INDUSTRY GREEN work shoes use:

• BASF Biomass Balance outsole.

Originated 100% from renewable sources, with performance identical to the standard product. Meets all high international safety shoe standards, providing protection and comfort.

• 100% recycled material laces

The recycled polyester used comes from post-consumer plastic bottles and are Global Recycle Standard certified.

• WingTex Green Lining

A unique air tunnel liner using 66% recycled polyester made from post-industrial plastics, containers and post-consumer bottles.

• Save & Flex Plus Green benefits.

The eco-friendly Puncture resistance system made from 59% recycled polyester, totally Metal Free that ensures 100% protection of the sole of the foot.

• Wow2 Green

BASF's PU insole originated from 100% renewable sources. An anatomical and antibacterial footbed that provides comfort, balance and shock distribution in the work environment.

And now let's look at the individual styles and the upper materials that differentiate them.

RED INDUSTRY GREEN: SAFETY SHOES FOR INDUSTRY, LOGISTICS, AUTOMOTIVE AND ASSEMBLY LINE

Work shoes in the RED INDUSTRY GREEN range are available in S1P and S3 safety ratings, and are antistatic and slip-resistant. They are ideal for use in industry, transportation and logistics, in the automotive sector, and for factory and assembly line use.

Let's look in detail at the features of the top styles.

ISLAND UK - S3 SRC CI ESD

Safety rated S3 SRC CI ESDsafety shoe with special sole protection from cold and highly abrasion resistant Putek Spider Repet upper.

Putek Spider Repet is made from 68% recycled material and is extremely strong while remaining lightweight. ensuring a high standard of performance.

CANYON UK - S1P SRC ESD

The canyon uk style is a safety footwear in S1P SRC ESD protection standard that mounts an upper made of soft suede microfiber an extremely soft, durable and breathable material that uses 50% recycled polyester.

This is a Global Recycle Standard-certified eco-friendly fabric that uses recycled polyester obtained through the recovery of plastics, thus contributing to the fight against plastic pollution .

NATURAL UK - S3 SRC CI ESD

NATURAL UK is a style of low-top, comfortable work shoes in S3 SRC CI ESD safety rating with special sole protection against cold.

The upper fabric is a soft microfiber using 40% recycled polyamide with excellent properties of strength and toughness, breathability and softness.

Again, the fabric is Global Recycle Standard certified.

NIAGARA UK - S3 SRC CI ESD

And finally, we present NIAGARA UK, an environmentally friendly high-top safety shoe with a Global Recycle Standard certified microfiber upper with 40% recycled polyamide.

The tall style protects the ankle and is particularly suitable for outdoor use. The S3 SRC CI ESD safety rating also ensures that the bottom of the shoe is insulated from the cold (down to -10°C).
