CERTIFIED RENEWABLE CONTENT

 

BASF’s production systems are based on a biomass balance approach that leverages renewable sources, such as biogas and bio-naphtha deriving from organic waste or vegetable oils, thus replacing fossil fuels. 
But also the percentage of organic raw material contained in the PU is certified through an independent measurement system (third parties), which guarantees the integrity and eco-sustainability of the finished product.

WHY CHOOSE AN ECO-SUSTAINABLE APPROACH

 

Our Earth rests on a balance in which everyone plays a specific role.
It is a delicate and fragile harmony: it takes nothing to break it!
Choosing an eco-sustainable approach means contributing to a circular economy for the environment, which minimises waste, reuses and recovers materials, and reduces CO2 emissions by offsetting them with specific projects.
Choosing GREEN materials means to actively contribute to environmental protection without sacrificing quality and a safe and comfortable product.

CHOOSE WITH AWARENESS, CHOOSE U-GREEN!

 

We can all contribute to a sustainable future, including you!
Today is the right day to take the first step towards an eco-sustainable future.
We will continue, day after day, to invest in research and development to optimise our production processes, choose materials that are increasingly responsive to eco-sustainability needs, and reduce our CO2 emissions in the careful selection of raw materials we use to develop ever greener solutions. You can give your contribution by choosing to buy U-GREEN brand work shoes.
