Sustainability has become a core focus across every industry sector lately, but, as lovers of the traditional, the wine and spirit industries are behind the curve on implementing sustainable glass packaging.

Plant and regenerate for tomorrow! Canadell, a fourth generation family owned premium French oak stave and alternatives supplier owes its success to its unique know-how in enhancing bicentennial oaks. Its sustainability intrinsically depends on oak resources. Canadell has always sourced its oaks from PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certified French State forests managed by the ONF (Office National des Forêts). It is therefore only natural that Canadell chose to support an oak replanting project proposed by the ONF - Agir (Office National des Forêts - Act Now) in the form of a forest endowment fund. Planting in the State National forest of Laigue which is situated in France’s Oise (Hauts-de-France) region started in November 2020.

Glass bottles have stood the test of time as a versatile and reliable container for liquids for centuries.
