Sustainability

Castella prides itself on our focus on protecting the environment and sustainability. Our efforts include:

Castella’s waste water production usage is approximately 5 million gallons. We were able to reduce that by 10% through steam washing machinery

Our non-product waste water usage is 500,000 gallons, we were able to reduce it by 50% by switching to waterless urinals and automatic faucets

Castella saves 476,000 kWh (kilowatt hours) of energy annually by switching the entire company’s lighting system from T-8 bulbs to LED lighting, and by upgrading to high efficiency refrigeration units

Our energy management system controls and optimizes the energy usage throughout our facility. Our high efficiency lighting is equipped with motion sensors that automatically shut off

Castella eliminated over 428,000lbs of carbon dioxide annually as party of the LIPA Commercial Efficiency Program which helped the company upgrade its refrigeration units

Castella produces about 35 tons of waste per week, and recycles approximately 5 tons, leaving 30 tons waste to landfill

Castella uses recyclable packaging for our products, labels, cartons and glass. Our packaging materials are sourced from FSC and SFI certified suppliers

Castella focuses on its environmental initiatives by reducing our carbon footprint, through the purchase of hybrid vehicles for our sales force
