The membrane mainly used in Lupriflex safety footwear has been awarded the Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® label, ensuring it has been tested for harmful substances and is harmless for human health.

How Does Lupriflex Address Sustainability?

Since 2008, the company has been working in a climate-neutral way. The company works climate-neutrally and is certified by Ökoprofit, demonstrating their commitment to environmental responsibility.

The first climate-friendly Lupriflex safety shoe is PETer, made from recycled plastic bottles, which won the 1st prize at the German Award for Sustainability Projects 2021 and was a finalist for the German Sustainability Award Design 2022. Their award-winning PETer shoe offers a remarkable 50% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional leather shoes.
