Not only does Capittana embrace sustainability pillars like fair wages and decent employment, but it's committed to reducing its carbon footprint. Upcycled materials, water recovery resources used during production, and recycled cardboard in packaging are just some of the ways Capittana reduces waste to meet the expectations of increasingly eco-minded consumers.
