We care for the future
Our purpose is to create, design and manufacture in a sustainable way, understanding sustainability from a perspective focused on people, their well-being and also of the planet that welcomes us. Therefore, we constantly work and keep improving to produce in an ethical and respectful way, having a circular approach from the conceptualization and design of the product, the selection and tracking of quality raw materials, the optimization of manufacturing techniques, and the recovery, reuse and recycling of each piece and component. A production strategy that allows us to reduce the environmental impact of both within our own facilities in Barcelona and throughout our entire supply chain.
The entire process reaffirms our commitment to quality and durability that make our designs last over time and pass on from generation to generation. "Our products are 98% recyclable."
HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS
The search for materials is a constant challenge. We always use high-quality, hard-wearing, and long-lasting ones, but we must also be fully aware of their source and that they do not contain components that have harmful effects on human health or on the environment.
We do not use materials that contain any chemical components classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic for reproduction (CMR substances) in any form that may represent an exposure hazard. Nor do any of the chemicals subject to the international prior informed consent (PIC) procedure set forth in Regulation (EU) No. 649/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (heavy metals, flame retardants, phthalates, halogenated polymers, chlorinated hydrocarbons) in amounts that exceed the designated limits. And by working closely with our suppliers, we guarantee that our products comply with REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation.
MANUFACTURED IN BARCELONA
Our products are manufactured at our factory in Olesa de Montserrat (Barcelona), which means we are able to oversee and control all the processes involved, ensuring that they comply with the manufacturing and quality standards to which we are committed.
We create timeless products designed to last, because we believe that durability is one of the main commitments necessary to achieve a more sustainable world. The long life of a product entails the reduction of the use of raw materials and the reduction of its environmental impact. We all form part of this chain of actions and we can all act to become more sustainable. Thanks to the durability and quality of our products, which we achieve by carefully selecting our raw materials and manufacturing processes, RS Barcelona’s designs can be classified as eco-friendly.
SUSTAINABLE RECYCLING
RS Barcelona’s products are designed to last. But our commitment does not end there. We want them to have a second life, or as many lives as possible, when the customer decides their journey has come to an end. This is how we foster reuse or donation to charitable organizations.
To achieve this goal, we design, develop and manufacture our products in a sustainable way that allows us to implement reuse strategies and responsible end-use processes. Their easy disassembly ensures most parts can be repaired to restore and recover the same conditions as the original item. And when this second use is no longer feasible, we make certain they can be disassembled, recycled as much as possible and reconverted into another piece, unto something new. This circular approach is what enables us to proudly state that RS Barcelona products achieve a recyclability rate of 98%*.
WORKING FOR THE FUTURE
In line with our commitment to maximizing the energy efficiency of our brand, at RS Barcelona we have embarked on an ambitious project to update our activities.
Our new facilities have been conceived, designed and built to obtain 60% of our energy from renewable sources and to keep working and implementing processes that allow us, in the mid-term, to be energy self-sufficient and sustainable as possible.
All our decisions follow the guiding principles set by our brand based on a single commitment: to design and manufacture intense living products sustainably. To last as many lives as possible, respecting the environment, the health, and well-being of people and the planet that hosts us.
There are no shortcuts. The road is long. But every small step is a big change, a success that brings us closer to our vision. A goal we want you to be a part of as well.
