We consider compliance with legal requirements as a minimum standard. In all aspects, we use the best available technology, as long as it is economically feasible. The implementation of the environmental policy is ensured through the establishment and maintenance of environmental management.
Sustainability
Our vision
Environmental policy is an important part of sustainability management at TANOS. For us, sustainability means offering future generations the same opportunities as the current one. In view of the current global megatrends, we are convinced that there are three main environmental impacts that are relevant to us:
Sustainability Report of the TTS Group
With the TTS Group's Sustainability Report for 2023, we are presenting our first report in accordance with the new EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The focus is on the topics of environment, social issues, and governance. This report marks another step towards sustainability and contributes to greater transparency in this area.

Our Commitment
As a manufacturer of packaging solutions, we are aware of our environmental responsibility. Our commitment extends throughout the entire value chain. Every day, we face new challenges and continuously set new goals to improve our environmental performance!
Spare parts
We place great emphasis on flexibility, with a focus on long product life. This significantly extends the lifespan of our products and helps protect valuable resources. That’s why we offer a decades-long spare parts warranty: all systainer® components such as lids, handles, and locks are easily replaceable.
Buildings
Extensive climate protection programs have also been implemented in our company building. For example, geothermal energy from the earth's crust is used for heating and cooling the administrative building and assembly halls. The heating and cooling concept is supported by concrete core tempering, where temperature regulation is achieved by directly injecting heat or cold into the concrete components of the floors or ceiling. Additionally, decentralized electronic water heaters provide on-demand hot water, eliminating the need for energy-intensive storage.
Recycling Information of Packaging
Packaging is also made up of important materials that can be recirculated in the resource cycle if they are separated and recycled accordingly.
Individual packaging materials can be distinguished from each other using the alphanumeric coding in accordance with Commission Decision 97/129/EC. Refer to your local regulations for separating your recycling.
The materials most commonly used in TANOS packaging briefly explained:
Packaging marked with code 20 to 22 should generally be disposed of with waste paper. This includes the cardboard packaging and blister cards that come with newly purchased TANOS products.
Packaging material with the code 01 to 07 are forms of plastic packaging, such as blisters, films, bags and polystyrene inserts. In many countries and municipalities, users can put this type of packaging in the yellow bag or bin.
It is important to separate the individual packaging materials before disposing of them. For example, users should remove the blister card from the blister and dispose of the individual materials in the relevant systems.

REACH/ ROHS
Information on Critical Substances
The REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 is the European Chemical Regulation for the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemical substances.
All substances (SVHC = Substances of Very High Concern) on the Candidate List are subject to disclosure requirements according to § 33. The SVHC Candidate List, published by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), is regularly updated and can be found at: https://echa.europa.eu/de/candidate-list-table.
As a manufacturer of products, we are required to disclose substances from the Candidate List that are present in our products in concentrations greater than 0.1% by weight and to comply with substance bans.
We naturally comply with this requirement. Additionally, we regularly inform our suppliers about REACH. They are obligated to fulfill their registration and information duties, in accordance with our environmental standards.
We also verify the compliance of our products by systematically selecting samples for analysis in a specialized laboratory.
In accordance with our information obligation under §33, all products with known SVHC content exceeding 0.1% by weight are available for review in the following list. This list is regularly updated. Our goal is to substitute the listed substances as quickly as possible. We work closely with our suppliers in this effort.
