SOLAR ENERGY
When choosing its growth policies, TTS has always favoured sustainable technological innovation and environmental responsibility.
To this end, since 2011 it has installed three photovoltaic systems with a rated power output of 315 kW/h, which allow it to produce up to 400,000 kW/h of clean energy annually for self-consumption or feeding into the national grid.
Logistics solutions
ZERO PLASTIC GOAL
98.8% of the products sold travel inside cardboard packaging, an ecological material as it is made of natural fibres and easily recyclable at the end of life.
91% of the cardboard used contains 80% to 100% recycled paper.
The paper used to manufacture packaging does not contribute to deforestation or forest degradation,
in accordance with the European Deforestation-free products Regulation (EUDR) of 31 May 2023.
OPTIMIZED TRANSPORT
The products are designed to take up as little space as possible: stackable frames, foldable bag holders and compactable handles are just some of the solutions developed by TTS which,
in addition to ensuring maximum efficiency in terms of space saving, allow to optimize packaging and therefore transport, reducing the environmental impact.
Suppliers and printers within a 45 km radius!
The plastic used to make the products comes exclusively from selected suppliers that are located at a maximum distance of 45 km from TTS headquarters: the proximity to manufacturers and printers makes it possible to guarantee the origin of the materials and reduce CO2 emissions linked to transport.
CARBON FOOTPRINT
The climate change we are witnessing is an urgent and potentially irreversible threat that requires, today more than ever, to be a priority: to combat global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The commitment of TTS on this front has resulted in the development of a system for the quantification of greenhouse gas emissions for each phase of the product life according to ISO 14067: in this way, it is possible to identify the most critical phases, implementing concrete actions aimed at reducing CO2e.
Our commitment has allowed us to reach an important goal: TTS is one of the first companies in the world to have obtained the implemented Carbon Footprint Systematic Approach certification.
The CFP calculation can be carried out on the trolley lines: Magic, MagicArt, Magic Hotel, Green, Green Hotel, Nick, Nickita.
In 2019 TTS has started a long-term compensation programme to fully absorb the emissions associated
with the annual production of Magic trolleys thus making it
THE FIRST
TROLLEY LINE
A concrete gesture in support of important projects of responsible environmental management
that not only allows the absorption of countless tons of CO2 but also helps to safeguard endangered ecosystems,
protect biodiversity and protect the work of local communities.
MULTIPURPOSE TROLLEYS
TTS has always been committed to designing sustainable professional products and systems, solely using quality materials with low environmental impact.
In specific, the company sets itself apart due to its wide range of cleaning trolleys manufactured using high quantities of recycled polypropylene, certified as Plastic Second Life.
The polypropylene makes TTS trolleys particularly strong, long lasting and completely recyclable at the end of their life, contributing in a tangible way to the safeguard of the environment..
PLASTIC SECOND LIFE
Products certified with the PSV - “Plastic Second Life” brand are made with recycled plastic raw materials and certified by the IPPR, the Institute for the Promotion of Recycling Plastics.
Ecolabel trolleys
The wide Magic range includes EU Ecolabel-certified trolleys, synonymous with sustainability, safety and quality.
Choosing them means contributing to the protection of the environment and health: they are sustainable throughout their entire life cycle, from being made from at least 30% recycled plastic to being designed to be easily disassembled for repair or recycling at the end of their life.
They are also safe as they are produced without the use of heavy metals harmful to humans and dangerous to ecosystems. Finally, they guarantee high quality and long-lasting service life: they have passed the tests for strength, stability, durability and operator safety conducted by an independent body according to EN 16121 and EN 14073.
EU ECOLABEL
The ecolabel certifies low environmental impact, health protection and quality in the design and manufacture of the trolleys.
WASHING TROLLEYS
TTS offers a wide range of trolleys with wringer, from the most compact to the most complete, always in the name of total modularity of the components and maximum customization, ideal for cleaning all medium-small environments.
Nick and Nickita trolleys are all produced with percentages of recycled plastic above the minimum required, while maintaining the original colours with the quality that has always distinguished TTS products.
TTS trolleys are green even at the end of their life, the polypropylene used in their production makes them 100% recyclable.
PLASTIC SECOND LIFE
The “Plastic Second Life” mark is an environmental product certification intended for materials and products obtained from the recycling of plastic waste.
DOSING DEVICE
Dosely is a soaking station allowing to soak single mops on demand, with considerable water and chemical saving.
With Dosely it is possible to soak only the mops really needed, avoiding you to prepare mops, which could be unused. The dosage of the cleaning solution can be adjusted from 50 to 350 ml according to size of the area to clean and the kind of dirt.
Only the side of the mop that goes in contact with the surface is soaked, only the chemical really needed will be used.
DOSE THE RIGHT THING
Dosely is fully automated, it does not need electricity to work and does not require the use of batteries that must be disposed of at the end of its life.
MICROFIBRE
TTS offers a wide range of microfibres highly efficient and with low environmental impact.
Microfibre, thanks to its high absorbing power guarantees a large floor coverage while the physical-mechanical action of its fibres acts on dirt molecules, catches them thus reducing the quantity of water and chemical needed.
Microfibre is characterised by increased resistance and longer life of the product in comparison with traditional yarns, confirming itself as an excellent long-term investment.
Ecolabel
High performance,
minimum environmental impact and health protection
The wide range of TTS yarns includes flat mops and mops certified EU Ecolabel, the environmental excellence mark of the European Union that identifies the products with the lowest environmental impact. The prestigious label was issued after a careful evaluation by independent experts, carried out based on rigorous scientifically defined criteria.
In an Ecolabel product there is a certification for the absence or presence within very strict limits of countless substances harmful to both people and the environment, including lead, formaldehyde and biocides. The Ecolabel also certifies sustainability from the production phase and resistance over time to washing, rubbing and light.
EU ECOLABEL
The EU Ecolabel is a European eco-label that certifies products with high performance standards and low environmental impact throughout their life cycle.
Sustainable in the washing machine
According to the study ‘Plastic in Nature: Assessing Plastic Ingestion from Nature to People’ commissioned by the WWF from Newcastle University (Australia), 250 grams of microplastics ingested through liquids and food pass through a human body every year, with little known health effects.
TTS had cloths and mops tested by a specialised external laboratory for the release of microplastics during textile washing: all products passed the test and were confirmed as environmentally friendly.
Fewer microplastic emissions mean more protection for the environment and health:
using wash-resistant textiles helps take care of our planet and its inhabitants.
WASTE COLLECTION
TTS solutions include several products certified PSV - Plastic Second Life made with 97% recycled plastic.
Since 2012 TTS have been using only premium recycled plastic, the only option that allows traditional colours.
All polypropylene containers are green even at the end of their life as they are 100% recyclable.
PLASTIC SECOND LIFE
Products certified with the PSV - Plastic Second Life brand: made with recycled plastic raw materials and certified by the IPPR, the Institute for the Promotion of Recycling Plastics.
Containers, which, in addition to favouring the differentiation of waste for the recovery of raw materials, are themselves made with recycled plastics.
Finally, they are completely recyclable at the end of their lives!
GREEN
From words to actions
The green concept cannot simply be a trend; rather, it must become a systematic orientation towards sustainability in all areas, starting with the corporate sector.
One more step
Around 4 % of the total European CO2 emissions originate from aviation.
In 2022, TTS joined the Compensaid service, helping offset carbon emissions related to flights that its employees take on business trips.

FOLLOW THE STEPS OF TTS TOWARDS
A CLEANER FUTURE
The climate change we are witnessing is an urgent and potentially irreversible threat that requires, today more than ever, to be a priority: to combat global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
TTS, sensitive to these issues, decided in its own small way to invest in developing an information system to calculate greenhouse gas emissions for each phase of the product life cycle (LCA).
With the knowledge generated by the study and by the software, TTS can now allow the user to make an informed and responsible choice by communicating impact data, review product design to reduce the impact of new products and implement emission compensation programs.
