LCA helps us make decisions regarding the process and allows us to choose lower-impact products. It\u2019s an essential tool for sustainable design and a great method for optimizing resources.<\/p>\n LCA allows us to:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.100″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n Traceability control of the raw material used in our process in order to guarantee the well-being of the animal before being slaughtered. We promote the consumption of local products, bearing in mind their quality, the proximity between the product\u2019s origin and where it is consumed, and the value of seasonal products. The consumption of local products is also about having access product information: its origin, its production, the channels through which it is distributed, etc. Another positive aspect has to do with creating synergy among local producers and local consumers.<\/p>\n According to the Catalan Consumer Agency, the benefits of buying local products are the following:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off”][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.100″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text background_layout=”light” use_border_color=”off” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.0.100″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.100″ custom_padding=”0px|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text background_layout=”light” use_border_color=”off” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.0.100″]<\/p>\n Our goal is to eliminate the use of restricted substances in the manufacturing sector.<\/p>\n In order to eliminate these substances from our productive system (both from the raw material and from the chemicals we use) we research alternatives to substitute the chemicals which contain them. This allows us to design safer processes and to reduce the presence of these substances in the goods.<\/p>\n1. Risk control and minimization (using Life Cycle Assessment methodology).<\/span><\/h3>\n
