Ecological awareness.
To buy responsibly means
to keep for a longer time.
For us at Kettal, ecology is not marketing. It’s a very
serious matter. We have analyzed the variants of
product life cycle to minimize environmental impact
as far as possible. Not only in our raw material usage,
but also other variables such as C02 emissions from
transport or use and durability.
Raw materials: Not only are they recyclable but also
recycled. We study the impact of the material over time.
There is no point 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.
0km production: Trying to produce all components
close to our Kettal production center in Barcelon
is one of the brand’s objectives to reduce CO2.
The essential raw materials used at Kettal, such
as fabric, rope and aluminum, are produced within
a radius of 100km.
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, we at Kettal keep technical drawings
and product patterns that are 30 years old in order
to be able to replace components and extend the life
of the product.
