Who is Test 1 Solutions?

.Overview

T1 Solutions is an innovative SME and benefit company
whose mission is to protect the environment with greater concern for the marine ecosystem through the prevention and control of oil spills occur-ring in the water and through the use of FoamFlex in all its declinations for the benefit of all stake-holders.

An estimated 3.5 to 6 million tonnes of oil, equivalent to 55 oil tankers, are spilled into waters globally each year

Just 1 litre of oil pollutes up to 1,000 square metres of water. One of T1 Solutions’ major innovations is aimed at resolving this source of pollution using FoamFlex.

FoamFlex is an environmentally friendly polymer aimed at preventing and eventually removing pollution caused by oil and oil spills in water quickly and effectively

FoamFlex, developed for the protection of the oceans by Oil Spill, has found application in a variety of sectors, such as maritime (ships, ports and marine) and industrial (water-oil filtration), contributing even more to environmental sustainability and the protection of our most precious asset: water.

Test1’s philosophy is to support, at the corporate level, the introduction of technologies and practices aimed at greater environmental sustainability

In addition, T1 Solutions is registered as a Benefit Corporation in that it operates responsibly and transparently for the purpose of protecting environmental conditions by combating pollution, especially of marine and fresh water, resulting from spills of hydrocarbons and, more generally, of oils and other polluting products.

This is thanks to the translation of advanced technology into a simple product such as FoamFlex, which can recover high quantities of oils in a short time and be reused several times

FoamFlex is a circular solution suitable for all types and sizes of oil spills, from small everyday accidents to major disasters

Not only products, but also service. T1 Solutions is one of the first Italian clean tech start-ups

With the evolution of T1 Solutions into an innovative SME, we wanted to keep all the aspects that positively characterise a start-up, introducing the qualification as a Benefit Company. These include dynamism, innovativeness, and the focus on first adopters of technology. While more and more corporations around the world are choosing T1 Solutions to safeguard the environment, attention and support for each individual partner or customer remain central to us. Our team is available to identify tailored solutions.

T1 Solutions proudly collaborates with Leroy Merlin to bring sustainable innovation into everyday life.
