Sustainable growth is a priority for COSTA NOVA. The effort to minimize our impact on the environment is (and will always be) an ever-evolving mission. On a daily basis, we are committed to protecting the environment, not causing unnecessary damage through the resources we use and the products we manufacture.

Sustainable Ceramics:

Our stoneware products are eco-friendly, reusable and recyclable;

The use of local natural resources minimizes our ecological footprint;

Single-fired production that saves energy and reduces emissions into the atmosphere;

Products made with a high % of recycled materials (clays and glazes), decreasing the use of capital, energy, and natural resources;

Special projects such as PLANO collection (our first recycled collection made from ECO-GRÉS®) highlight the constant focus on the development of products that are eco-friendly.

Sustainable Industry:

Industrial facilities that are environmentally-friendly;

Efficient and innovative and energy-efficient equipment;

Renewable energy (photovoltaic);

Reused heat from the kilns to other equipment;

Waste management policies and recycling procedures;

Advanced water treatment and reduction of water consumption practices;

Recycled and recyclable packaging:
- Most of our packaging is made of kraftliner paper, produced from recycled fibers (75%); once used, all packaging can be reused and recycled;
- In 2019 we’ve started to use recycled paper tape on most of our boxes. We aim to ensure that all our packaging is 100% recyclable;
- 99% of our packaging is plastic free (only 1% of the stoneware pieces are packaged inside using polypropylene separators).

Social Responsability:

Producing ceramics in a socially responsible environment is a vital element to COSTA NOVA:

Our 740 employees are our greatest assets;

We make it our mission to commit to ethical business practices and high standards for human rights;

Building social good is in the foundation of our business (job creation, philanthropy programs devoted to increase the well-being of the surrounding communities, gender diversity, equality and social inclusion practices);

We promote and encourage environmental-friendly practices amongst all employees and suppliers.
