We provide our customers with environmentally friendly product choices where possible and we are continually developing new and enhanced products that are kinder to the environment:
Fire extinguishers with the Milieukeur eco-label
PFOA and PFOS free foam fire extinguishers
Higher fire ratings on smaller extinguishers
We offer smaller fire extinguishers with higher fire ratings as the smaller fire extinguishers are better for the environment with less energy required in their production as well as a lower carbon footprint and reduced disposal required at the end of life
The TITAN Kitemarked fire extinguisher range offers a number of products that are Milieukeur approved:
Milieukeur is the Dutch national eco-label for more sustainable non-food products and services. Milieukeur’s criteria are based on the life cycle of a product or service and include various sustainability themes
Miliekeur products can be identified by the following logo in our product brochure and online:
We offer a number of fire extinguishers that are made only with pure water and/or are without additives and these are signified by the following symbol:
When purchasing products and materials we endeavour to bulk buy in order to reduce energy consumption including transportation and reduce the carbon footprint
We do not sell firefighting foam or AFFF fire extinguishers that contain PFOA or PFOS. In general settings where fire cover is required for Class A and B fire risks we actively encourage customers to replace AFFF foam extinguishers with water fire extinguishers
We purchase products and services locally where possible therefore reducing the carbon footprint. TITAN EURO offers products including fire extinguishers, wheeled trolley units and automatic extinguishers that are manufactured in Europe which will reduce the carbon footprint of the range

We are always looking for ways to reduce our energy consumption and minimise our environmental impacts:
Reducing energy consumption including water, electricity and gas in our warehouse and offices
Educate, inform and train our staff to reduce our environmental impacts
All computers and associated equipment are turned off at night rather than being left on stand-by
Flat screen monitors are used thereby reducing energy consumption by over two thirds in comparison with standard screens
We only print documentation that is necessary and use duplex and economy printing where possible
Ensure that lights and equipment are turned off when not in use to reduce energy usage and waste
Ensure our buildings are maintained to a high standard and that all repairs are undertaken quickly to reduce heat loss etc.
Ensure that we only boil the amounts of water that are required
Ensure that good housekeeping standards are maintained for equipment to ensure efficient operation of equipment
Ensure adequate signage and instruction is provided to assist and educate our staff in reducing energy consumption
Monitor and evaluate travelling and fuel consumption
Throughout 2022 our premises will be upgraded to improve environmental management and ensure compliance including LED lighting, heating and lighting and insulation
Educate, inform and train our staff in environmental matters and the relevant impacts of our activities on the environment

We continually seek to improve our transportation to reduce our carbon footprint:
We source stock in the UK and Europe as much as we can do where possible in order to reduce the carbon footprint of products
We bulk buy stock to reduce the carbon footprint
For deliveries we use two of the UK’s largest courier companies who have a large network and infrastructure, this helps to reduce the number of vehicles on the road making specific journeys therefore reducing the carbon footprint of deliveries
