Titon

Titon seeks to handle and deliver products and services in a manner that is not detrimental to the environment or to the Health and Safety of its staff, customers, or the general public both inside and outside its facilities.

Titon has held the ISO14001 Environmental Management Standard certificationsince 2007.

We have taken action over recent years to reduce our environmental footprint and will continue to do so. Actions we have already taken include:

• An investment of over £150,000 in solar panels, which are installed on the roof of our Haverhill factory. These panels continue to generated over 125 Mwh of electricity per year, which we use in the factory or sell back to the National Grid;

• Installation of LED lighting throughout the Colchester Office and the Haverhill factory.

• Replacing all diesel cars in the company car fleet with electric vehicles, wherever possible, when they come up for renewal. We have EV charging points installed at both the Colchester office and Haverhill site.

• Replacement of older fixed asset plant and machinery with new, more efficient units, for example our Amada Press which we purchased in April 2021.

• Installation of a reverse osmosis plant in our paint facility, which has reduced the usage of caustic soda and hydrochloric acid by 50%, with an added health and safety benefit.

• We have an ongoing initiative to reduce single use packaging for raw material supplies and have replaced our own plastic packaging with either cardboard or recycled plastic, wherever possible.

• We targeted to reduce waste to landfill from the Haverhill production site by 50% by end 2023 which we achieved, and we have set the same target for 2024, with a further goal of zero waste to landfill in subsequent years.

We apply the waste hierarchy, as laid down in law, and which forms part of our ISO 14001:2015 certification. The basic principles are “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle” and are incorporated in the Titon Recycling Policy under which we aim to reduce waste in all our packaging, products and processes.

We will continue to take all actions that reduce our energy, water and waste usage. We will also look to report our environmental footprint using a third-party reporting mechanism.
