The Environment Agency's new regulations (RPS 132) on waste fire extinguishers aim to promote eco-friendly disposal. Now, both the canister and foam must be incinerated, increasing disposal costs.
Why the change?
Fluorosurfactants in these foams are harmful "forever chemicals" that persist in the environment and human tissues, posing health risks.
At HTS, we offer a sustainable alternative:
The Fire Safety Stick
The Fire Safety Stick is the new and improved version of the traditional fire extinguisher...
Safe to Breathe
The Fire Safety Stick’s discharge does NOT impair or affect the breathing ability or vision of the user, even in a confined room.
NO Servicing
The Fire Safety Stick does NOT require a 3rd party professional service. We only recommend regular ‘maintenance’, which involves a visual check that any responsible party can perform.
NO Harmful Mess
The Fire Safety Stick does NOT leave behind any damaging mess or residue. Meaning any cleanup, downtime or replacements are drastically reduced.
5 Classes of Fires
The Fire Safety Stick is certified to tackle the following fire classifications: A – Flammable Materials, B – Flammable Liquids, C – Flammable Gases, Electrical – up to 100,000v & F – Cooking Oils & Fats.
Weight & Size
Weighing from only 215 grams (FSS50) or 365 grams (FSS100). Roughly 10% of the true weight of a typical 1kg powder extinguisher at 2.2kg.
Discharge Time
50 or 100-second models available! In comparison, a 1kg powder extinguisher typically reaches up to 7 seconds.
15-Year Shelf Life
A shelf life that far out-competes other extinguishers available. Many traditional extinguishers have a shelf life of 5 years.
Eco-Friendly
The discharge produced from the Fire Safety Stick has NO global warming potential and NO ozone depletion potential. So, you can be comfortable using it without adding harmful substances to the environment.
Easy to Recycle
After the Fire Safety Stick has been activated and the discharge has been expelled entirely. The Fire Safety Stick can be separated into two parts, an aluminium tube and a plastic handle, both can easily be recycled.
Leave it behind
If the fire is out of control, and you do not feel safe, activate it, leave it in the room or confined space with the fire, close the door behind you and call the fire brigade at a safe distance. The Fire Safety Stick will repress the fire in your absence as it continues to discharge.
CE & UKCA
Certified and accredited with the CE & UKCA marks.
It's a no-brainer to make the swap!🤝
