Fire Safety Ireland is committed to protecting the environment and to ensure that our activities are carried out in a sustainable manner.

Some of the practical measures that we have implemented to promote our environmental and sustainability policy are:

1. Reduction of unnecessary emissions and chemicals from extinguishers by re-using them for training purposes

2. Disposal of electrical fire protection devices to the WEEE directive

3. Recycle all cardboard, paper, plastic, and other packaging materials from our suppliers

4. We remove and recycle 100% of all cardboard, paper, plastic, and other packaging materials used to deliver fire protection equipment to our customers where we unpack and install this equipment

5. We do not discharge any fire extinguisher during maintenance or training that contains protein foam, aqueous film-forming foam, wet chemical, water with additive, or any organohalogens in environments thaat could possibly enter groundwater

To meet our environmental and sustainability policy aim, we will endeavour to:

1. maximise the re-use of materials and products
