About Eco-Gres ® 
Eco- Gres® is a registered trademark of Grestel. Products under this label are guaranteed to be made of non-hazardous recycled materials, derived from ceramic surplus and other additives.
All Eco-Gres® products are guaranteed to be food-safe, complying with the International Standards.

In addition, Eco-Gres® is in line with the European directives 2006/12/CE and 2008/98/CE, oriented toward transforming the EU into a «recycling society». This trademark is a result of years of an internal investigation, in collaboration with a local university (Universidade de Aveiro), and the result is an upgraded (recycled) raw material that presents several advantages to the environment:
 Natural Resources Preservation – by the reduction in the extraction volume of natural raw materials;
 Energy Efficiency – reduced ecological footprint;
 Health and Safety –reduction of waste otherwise disposed of in a landfill

The Process - Collect and Recycle 
Grestel sees its products and operations as part of a long-life cycle and is committed to taking better care of the community and of the world.
In this commitment to sustainability, Grestel is developing a new raw material, by collecting, recycling and reusing clays and glazes from its own operations and other materials. 
The result is Eco-Gres®, a reinvented clay, made of recycled materials and completely eco-friendly.

How is Eco-Gres® made 
The Eco-Gres® production process begins by collecting clay waste from our factory and combining it with other materials in order to stabilize the final composition. 
The recycled clay represents approximately 25% of all clay purchased from external suppliers. Finally, Eco-Gres® consists of 90% recycled materials and other substances.

The process of converting these surpluses into Eco-Gres® involves a set of sequential steps: 
Mixing the products → sieve → homogenization & stabilization → sieve → filter-pressing → shredding → extrusion → shaping → drying → glazing → firing 
In the end, a homogeneous and flexible clay body is obtained, ready to be (re) used in Grestel’s production line.
The whole process takes place within the same factory, also contributing to the reduction of our carbon footprint.

This Summer, COSTA NOVA unveils a new campaign. "SUMMER BREEZE – LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE" is inspired by the Summer lifestyle we all dream of: Summer is the time to slow down, to reconnect with nature and to live the best moments of our lives. Always surrounded by family and friends.

This campaign highlights BRISA, a new tableware collection inspired by the warm breeze that blows from the east and imbues the Algarve coast with fruity aromas and the fresh flavors of Ria Formosa.

The blended white and blue glazes and organic shapes transport us to the intricate landscape of lagoons, canals, salt works, and sandy beaches stretching across deserted islands.
This collection adds light to every gathering and turns any table into a memorable experience.

THE GARDEN – LIFE IN FULL BLOOM was the slogan chosen for the campaign, which reminds us of the arrival of Spring and all the sensations it awakens.

"There is no better time than Spring. When life lives in everything and everywhere, including our home. We decorate our tables with flowers, put plants in our vases and let nature alive."

The campaign matches with the launch of the new collection of decorative pieces LE JARDIN, designed in partnership with the French floral designer Christian Tortu. This is the first COSTA NOVA collection composed exclusively of decorative pieces, an eclectic mix of original silhouettes and glazes capable of surprising decorative effects, with or without flowers.

At the same time, COSTA NOVA launched the new color sand grey to our NOVA collection, one of the best-selling collections, now available in four colors.

All the products are already available online and in stores (Lisboa and Aveiro, Portugal).

The Portuguese brand of fine stoneware, recognized throughout the Retail sector for the quality of its tableware and accessories, begins the year 2019 with the aim of increasing its presence in the hospitality industry through the introduction of two exclusive collections for this market.

Developed in partnership with renowned German Designer Carsten Gollnick, NOTOS is a tableware collection designed exclusively for professionals in the hospitality sector, inspired by the remarkable color contrasts and structures of the Portuguese Atlantic coast. Textured ceramic forms of pure and flowing lines are combined with metallic structures and organic materials such as cork and wood in a palette of light and dark tones that represent the contrasting colors of the coastal landscape. From this boarder between the water and the land, the German designer has developed a collection of tableware perfect not only for presenting dishes with this coastal theme but also for the presentation of gastronomic experiences of various cuisines and cultures.

The RODA collection was created by the Portuguese designer Torres Euracini, and is inspired by the "Circle of Friends". Naming the author, this collection aims to "bring everyone together at the table... in a circle of friends, we awaken the delight of meeting flavors, experiences and stories of companionship made of emotions and shared memories. Time well spent with moments of pure happiness and culinary delights… the next dish follows; the next story comes.” All the pieces of this collection are produced in the best and most resistant stoneware and have special and organic shapes suitable for the demanding hospitality use due to its high level of resistance and performance. The five visual variants of RODA offer a wide range of possibilities to accommodate the best flavors of all seasons, masterfully created by the artists of fine dining and subtle taste. Fish and seafood dishes, meat and vegetables, among others dishes, find in this collection a special support for the irreverent success of the innovation and detail of the great chefs.

At COSTA NOVA, we create our tableware collections with the same passion and motivation as Chefs and caterers create their culinary masterpieces. The unique characteristics of our fine stoneware products, combined with its original design, functionality and durability make our brand a reference in the gastronomy segment, with customers located in over 50 countries around the world. These new collections aim to provide professionals in this industry with an efficient experience of performance and aesthetics at the highest level.
