Full circle
Environmental performance throughout the entire chain
Sustainably produced materials are becoming increasingly important in professional sweeping work. As a Dutch family business, we have been developing high-quality sweeping and weed brushes for decades. The latest step in this journey is embedding sustainability in both our technology and our operations.
Sustainability becomes a full-fledged selection criterion
Municipalities, infrastructure companies, landscaping services, and cleaning contractors look beyond just lifespan and sweeping results. Sustainability has become a full-fledged selection criterion. More and more, clients want to know:
- How is a brush produced?
- What steps does the supplier take regarding energy and the environment?
- How is CO₂ emissions reduced throughout the chain?
Sustainable sourcing of raw materials
Sustainability starts with the right materials. That’s why we assess suppliers against strict environmental criteria and consciously choose raw materials with a responsible origin. By working with high-quality materials, we extend the lifespan of our brushes and reduce the environmental impact throughout the chain.
Your benefits
- Materials with controlled and responsible origin
- High-quality raw materials for longer lifespan
- Partnering with a manufacturer that makes sustainable choices from the very start
ISO Certifications
Reliability you can prove. As a quality-conscious manufacturer, we operate according to ISO 9001 and are certified for ISO 14001, the international standard for environmental management. This demonstrates our commitment to process control, continuous improvement, and sustainable business practices throughout the entire organization.
Your benefits
- Consistent and controlled product quality
- Clear documentation for auditors and tenders
- Partnering with a demonstrably sustainable and responsible manufacturer
Production and development in-house
We manufacture all our brushes entirely in-house – from design to assembly and quality control. This gives us maximum control over quality and sustainability. Thanks to local production, we reduce transport, shorten the supply chain, and lower CO₂ emissions, while responding quickly to custom requirements and specific customer needs.
Your benefits
- Short supply chains and fast delivery within the region
- Consistent quality and sustainable production processes
- Full transparency on origin and material usage
Sustainable transport
Our own transport is fully carried out with a truck running on HVO100, reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 90%. This way, we not only shorten the supply chain but also minimize transport impact while maintaining control over reliable delivery.
Your benefits
- Significant CO₂ reduction thanks to HVO100
- Reliable delivery with our own transport
- Lower environmental impact across the entire logistics chain
Toolbox meetings
The right brush selection, alignment with the surface, speed, and pressure have a major impact on lifespan and performance. In our Toolbox Meetings, we share practical, situation-specific tips that help you work more efficiently, reduce wear, and lower environmental impact.
Your benefits
- Longer brush life = fewer replacements and lower costs
- Reduced CO₂ impact through more efficient use
- Immediately applicable knowledge for better performance
Circular material use
We strongly focus on circular processes. Residual materials are ground and reused, returned brushes are refurbished, and all waste is strictly separated and recycled. This way, we reduce the waste stream and the need for new raw materials.
Your benefits
- Less waste and lower environmental impact
- Material reuse reduces raw material extraction
- Circular solutions that extend product lifespan

First brush manufacturer with ISO 14001
KOTI was the first and only Dutch brush manufacturer to achieve ISO 14001 certification. This certificate demonstrates that we operate with a fully proven environmental management system.
Many parties are familiar with the CO₂ Performance Ladder, but ISO 14001:
- Looks at all processes within an organization
- Focuses on continuous improvement
- Is increasingly used as a criterion in tenders
- Goes beyond just CO₂ reduction
With ISO 14001, we emphasize that sustainability is structurally embedded in our business operations.
Lower CO₂ emissions
Fully local production
An important part of our sustainability strategy is fully Dutch production. This offers clear environmental benefits:
- No international transport chains
- Lower CO₂ emissions thanks to local production close to customers
- Deliveries mostly with our own truck
- Transport using HVO100, further minimizing emissions
The result: brushes with a significantly reduced environmental impact.
