Sustainability
What would the ocean be without drops…?
It is essential to promote sustainable management, since everything we do has an impact on the planet.
Sustainability has become a philosophy for us and a way of life. In every process or daily decision, we tend to question ourselves if we can do it in a more sustainable way.
We know we can’t change the world on a large scale, but prioritizing respect and care for the environment is a responsible way of living towards Mother Earth.
We want Can Vital to be an example of sustainable management and hope it inspires you to move towards a more sustainable lifestyle. We want to raise awareness, both for ourselves and for everyone who passes through Can Vital, about the fact that we are all part of an ecosystem and that our actions matter, no matter how insignificant they may seem in the grand scheme of things.

How do we promote sustainable management?
Solar Panels
The solar panels were installed in June 2022. Thanks to them, we have reduced our electricity consumption by 32%.
This photovoltaic installation has been made possible thanks to the financial support of the European Union under the Next Generation Program.
Biomass
Since our inception, we have been using a biomass boiler to supplement the water supply, which is heated by burning briquettes.
The briquettes are made from the compounds of the shavings generated in the furniture manufacturing process of the company TENUEE.
LEDs & Automatic exterior lights
It is known that LED lights can help save up to 80-60% of energy consumption compared to other bulbs.
Additionally, motion sensors help avoid unnecessary energy expenditure, thus contributing to reducing consumption.
Forest Cleaning
Catalonia is a land of forests, with nearly 65% of its territory covered by woodlands. The resulting homogeneous and young forest mass creates conditions where fires can spread rapidly and intensely.
Our forest cleaning efforts have unveiled the ancient landscape of dry stone walls, small stone houses, and even some olive trees. Importantly, this work significantly reduces the risk of fire spreading.
Natural Purification System
Artificial wetlands
The water circulates through a gravel bed, an action complemented by the incorporation of oxygen by the plant roots into the bacterial flora. This flora uses the oxygen to carry out its activity and degrade the organic matter present in the water. The water to be treated follows a circuit that ensures a residence time in contact with the gravel, roots, and microorganisms living in the wetland.
The outgoing water will have experienced a removal of more than 90% of the organic matter and is suitable for discharge into the environment.
Electric Car
Having an electric car and a charger provides significant environmental benefits by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. It also offers economic advantages, such as lower operating and maintenance costs compared to traditional gasoline vehicles. Additionally, electric cars contribute to energy independence by utilizing locally produced electricity. Convenient home charging stations enhance the overall user experience, making electric vehicle ownership more practical and efficient.
Essencial Oils
We firmly believe in the importance of using natural and safe cleaning products. Conventional cleaning products often contain harmful ingredients such as ammonia, chlorine, and synthetic fragrances, which can have negative effects on our health and the environment.
That is why we choose to use natural and biodegradable ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, lemon, and essential oils, which are safe for health and do not pollute the environment. These ingredients are not only effective in keeping our spaces clean and fresh, but they are also sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Tourism KM 0
Our mission is to offer visitors a unique and responsible experience in harmony with nature. We use eco-friendly practices, renewable energy, and support the local community. We promote outdoor activities that do not harm the environment and aim to inspire our guests about the importance of sustainability.
