For Kettal, ecology is not marketing. It’s a very serious matter. We have analysed the
variants of product life cycle to minimise environmental impact as far as possible.
Not only raw materials, but other variables such as CO2 emissions from transport or use
and durability.
Raw materials: Not only are they recyclable but recycled. We study the impact of the
material recovery process and the durability of the material over time. There is no point
in using a very ecological material if, due to its construction, it needs to be replaced
many times during the product’s life cycle, thus multiplying the pollution caused by its
production process.
0 km production: Trying to produce all components close to Kettal’s production
centre in Barcelona is one of the brand’s objectives to reduce CO2. The essential raw
materials used at Kettal, such as fabric, rope and aluminium, are produced within a
radius of 100 km.
Use and Durability: We do not build in obsolescence. Each design is aesthetically
designed and technically developed to last as long as possible. The longer a product lasts,
the less often it has to be replaced and therefore the fewer production processes that
have to be carried out.
Accordingly, Kettal keeps technical drawings and product patterns that are 30 years old
in order to be able to replace components and extend the life of each product.
