PPE provider partners to protect those who protect our oceans

uvex safety has partnered with the Seabin Project, offering its range of personal protective equipment (PPE) to help monitor the health of our waterways. The Seabin Project develops clean tech and data solutions upstream for waterways adjacent to high-population areas, such as marinas, ports and public waterways. In July 2020, the Seabin Project, backed by thousands of community members and local businesses, self-funded a city pilot to monitor the health of the waterways and clean up the plastic pollution in Sydney Harbour.

The Seabin team is protected by uvex with the uvex athletic D5 XP cut protection glove, the phynomic airLite C ESD cut protection glove, the SharpsMaster HV 7082 glove and the pheos cx2 glasses. Data solutions, prevention and clean-up, combined with a ‘for purpose’ business model, enabled Seabin to address the issue of ocean pollution on a more holistic scale, funnelling down to the core issue being a need for behaviour change. 

“uvex safety is excited for the opportunity to learn, partner and volunteer with the Seabin team in their quest to hit 100 cities by 2050 using their global growth plan of scaling impact, city by city,” the PPE provider said.
