GTS confirmed among ATMO Approved companies for 2025: excellence and commitment to a sustainable future
Once again in 2025, GTS has obtained the ATMO Approved certification, reaffirming its role as a leader in the natural refrigerant sector. This prestigious recognition, awarded by ATMOsphere, attests to GTS’s excellence in producing environmentally friendly refrigerant gases and its leadership in sustainable innovation.
The certification highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to providing solutions that exceed sustainability standards, ensuring the market receives high-quality products free of harmful substances.
“Confirming ATMOsphere’s approval is an honor that strengthens our market reputation and underscores our commitment to the environment,” said Paolo Zunino, CEO of GTS. “This recognition reflects our dedication to delivering products that not only meet sustainability standards but set new benchmarks for eco-conscious innovation.”
Quality, reliability, and sustainability at the heart of our mission
GTS produces over 25,000 metric tons of natural refrigerant gases annually, including propane (R290), isobutane (R600a), n-butane (R600), and propylene (R1270), ensuring a purity level of up to 99.99% under the Polarpure brand.
The Arquà Polesine plant, equipped with a 1MW solar photovoltaic system and R290 heat pumps, demonstrates the company’s commitment to reducing emissions and creating an increasingly efficient and sustainable supply chain. With branches in Europe, Asia, and South America and an autonomous logistics management system, GTS ensures a reliable and contamination-free supply worldwide.
The quality of GTS’s refrigerants has also been emphasized by Barun Das, National Manager of LB Specialties, a gas and chemical distributor in India and Bangladesh: “For us, safety, quality, and service are the most important aspects of the business, and we find that GTS maintains them scrupulously. Even when there were potential supply disruptions due to sudden geopolitical turmoil, GTS managed the supply chain exceptionally well, avoiding any negative impact on our customers.”
A recognition that looks to the future: eliminating PFAS from the industry
One of the key aspects of the ATMO Approved certification is the commitment to eliminating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are considered a threat to the environment and health. ATMOsphere has recently strengthened its certification criteria, requiring candidates to demonstrate the measurable impact of their activities in reducing CO₂ and TFA emissions.
ATMOsphere CEO Marc Chasserot stated: “ATMO Approved companies not only meet the highest sustainability standards but are also driving change in the natural refrigerant sector. Our goal is to encourage innovative solutions that eliminate PFAS and other harmful compounds, ensuring a cleaner and safer future.”
GTS stands out as a leading company in the natural refrigerant market, actively contributing to the transition toward safer and more sustainable solutions. The recognition by ATMOsphere further strengthens our position as a trusted partner for those seeking quality, safety, and innovation in the industrial and commercial refrigeration sector.
