NATURAL STONE

Mining and quarrying minerals generates a series of harmful environmental effects, mainly due to the need to xcavate large areas of land to reach rocks and minerals, with the subsequent detrimental repercussions on the scenery, land, vegetation, water etc. L’Antic Colonial tries to avoid the generation of dangerous or pollutant waste, instead generating non-pollutant waste materials that are taken to tips or used as landfill to restore the landscape. Water is used in a closed-circuit system so that any unconsumed water can be filtered and re-used. In areas where dust is generated, water is sprayed with surfactants, and filters and dust collectors are fitted. Processing facilities and trucks are covered to prevent dust from spreading. Before minerals are quarried, trees and shrubs are replanted elsewhere to conserve them. Seeds are collected and kept, and the soil is treated so that the landscape can later be restored in as natural a way as possible.

PARQUET

L’Antic Colonial is also concerned about the possible negative repercussions of the production of wood by-products ike parquet, laminate flooring, or decking. All our products come from forests certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) and we have achieve the FSC “chain of custody certificate”, which involves assessment of the forestry production chain. The FSC label or trademark makes it possible to identify the origin of a product, guaranteeing its quality. In short, the impact on the environment is minimized, on the understanding that all forestry activities must aim to conserve the biological diversity of our woodlands and their associated assets, water resources, land, unique fragile ecosystems and scenery. Lastly, a commitment is undertaken to conserve natural woodlands, refraining from cutting down primary or well-developed secondary woods or places of environmental, social or cultural value. lantations – unique legitimate sources of wood – must provide benefits, while also alleviating pressure on natural woodlands and helping to promote their restoration and conservation.

MANUFACTURING PLANTS

L´ANTIC COLONIAL uses a closed-circuit recirculation system for water needed in the manufacturing process, thus ensuring efficient consumption. Any waste generated during the manufacturing process is properly separated and stored prior to its management by authorized waste management bodies. From time to time, authorized laboratories conduct inspections to check that

L´ANTIC COLONIAL’s staff carry out correct environmental procedures. With the obtained results, legal compliance with atmospheric, water and noise emissions is ensured.

All these efforts have recently been awarded with the firm’s certification of compliance with the UNE-EN-ISO 14001:2004 standard.
