MSA V-Gard Regular Hard Hats

The MSA V-GARD® GREEN Hard Hat is the world’s first protective helmet manufactured from renewable resources, combining trusted V-GARD impact protection with measurable environmental responsibility. Made from plant-based green high-density polyethylene (GHDPE) derived from sugarcane ethanol, it protects not only workers—but the environment as well.

Built on the legacy of the iconic V-GARD design, this helmet delivers certified head protection, long service life, and recyclability while actively reducing carbon footprint.

Product Description:

V-GARD GREEN helmets are manufactured using biopolymer GHDPE, a renewable material sourced from sugarcane. Since sugarcane growth exceeds harvest rates, the raw material is sustainably replenished, making the helmet a responsible alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics.

Like traditional V-GARD helmets, the GREEN version is fully recyclable (No. 2 plastic) and engineered to stay out of landfills—supporting corporate ESG and sustainability initiatives without compromising safety performance.
