Safety helmet according to EN 397

Our ‘Master mind’ combines sustainability and state-of-the-art safety technology in an innovative design. The helmet shell is made of 100% bio-polyethylene (bio-PE), an environmentally friendly material obtained from renewable raw materials. With its focus on the highest protection standards, the ‘Master mind’ fulfils the requirements of demanding working environments and at the same time sends out a clear signal in favour of environmental protection. Robust, reliable and sustainable - the ‘Master mind’ offers protection with an ecological awareness.

Bio-polyethylene (Bio-PE) is an innovative material that is obtained from renewable raw materials such as sugar cane, in contrast to conventional polyethylene, which is based on fossil raw materials. It has the same technical properties as conventional polyethylene, making it ideal for use in products that require both durability and resistance, such as safety helmets. However, the advantage of bio-PE lies in its environmentally friendly production: by using plants to produce the raw material, CO₂ is bound during the growth process, which helps to reduce the overall CO₂ footprint. At the same time, bio-PE is fully recyclable, making it a sustainable and forward-looking choice for the industry.

Bio-polyethylene (Bio-PE) offers significant advantages in terms of CO₂ emissions compared to conventional fossil fuel-based polyethylene (PE). During the growth phase of the plants from which bio-PE is obtained (e.g. sugar cane), CO₂ is absorbed from the atmosphere and converted into biomass. This process helps to significantly reduce the material's carbon footprint. On average, 1 kg of bio-PE binds around 3.09 kg of CO₂, while the production of 1 kg of conventional PE causes around 2,1 kg of CO₂. This results in a net saving of around 5.19 kg CO₂ per kilogramme of bio-PE compared to fossil PE.

Example calculation for the helmet shell of the Master mind made of bio-PE:

Weight of the helmet shell: 275 g (0,275 kg)

Net CO₂ saving per kilogramme of bio-PE: 5,19 kg CO₂

Calculation of CO₂ savings for a helmet shell: 0,1275 kg × 5,19 kg CO₂ savings/kg = 1.427 kg CO₂ savings

The production of a helmet shell made from bio-PE with a weight of 275 g saves around 1,43 kg of CO₂ compared to production from conventional polyethylene.

This saving may seem insignificant at first glance, but as it scales with the quantity of helmets, the positive environmental effect adds up considerably. For example, the production of 1,000 helmets from bio-PE would save around 1,430 tonnes of CO₂, which corresponds to a significant contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions.
