Ecoalf opens its first carbon-neutral shop in Madrid

What: Ecoalf, a sustainable fashion brand, has opened its first CO2- neutral store in Madrid.

Why it is important: Ecoalf is committed to reaching zero emissions by 2030 and taking necessary actions by putting the planet at the center of every decision they make.

Ecoalf worked with interior designer Lorenzo Castillo and bioclimatic architecture experts, MVN Arquitectos to open its new brick-and-mortar in the Madrid retail space, Caleido.

The shop is characterized by the use of sustainable, recycled materials that can be reused or recycled at the end of their life cycle. The furniture is made from oak wood and covered in natural raffia, the tables have a white clay insert, and the terracotta ceilings and walls are decorated with wooden beams sourced from Spanish forests. Additionally, the cushions, curtains, and furniture are upholstered with 100% recycled polyester fabrics that give plastic bottles a second life.

Ecoalf has also collaborated with Emovili, a Spanish solar panel installation company to reduce its energy consumption. The shop has 15 solar panels made from silicone that are almost entirely recyclable, have an average lifespan of 25 years, and prevent 2.95 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere each year.
