- Reuse Of Bottles
* In France, the Deposit for Reusing Glass Bottles disappeared in the 1980s in favor of Single-Use Bottles. However, the Brewing World has never completely dissociated itself from this Theme. Today, in Partnership with Reuse Stakeholders, Brasserie Castelain has decided to bring the Reuse of its Bottles up to date in order to further follow its Objective of Reducing its Carbon Footprint.

* From an Ecological Point of View, it is more interesting to reuse a Glass Bottle rather than recycle it to remanufacture it:
- Using Washed Bottles rather than Disposable Bottles consumes 75% less Energy. CADETTE CADETTE COLLECTION
- Reusing a Bottle reduces Water Consumption by 33% compared to manufacturing a New Bottle.

In Partnership with Haut la Consigne, Brasserie Castelain allows its Glass Bottles to have a Longer Life Cycle and thus reduce its Ecological Impact!
- Waste Recovery
* During brewing, when the Must arrives in the Filtration tank, Brasserie Castelain obtains Spent Grain. These are Co-Products from the Brewing of Cereals, and more precisely a Plant Product derived from Malt (Grain Bark) obtained after racking off the Must. On average, 25kg of Spent Grains are produced for each Hectoliter of Beer brewed. Spent Grains have an interesting Nutritional Value, so they have Significant Potential for Recovery. At the Castelain Brewery, these Spent Grains are recovered by Local Farmers and Agricultural Cooperatives and recycled into Animal Feed. The Waste becomes a Resource.
- "Let’s Take Back The Earth In Hand!"
* Since the Creation of the Brewery, they have been committed to participating in the Influence of their Territory and the Proper Functioning of the Activities located there.
* In 2023, Brasserie Castelain was announcing its Partnership with "Terre de Liens".
* "Terre de Liens" is a Citizen Movement which aims to eliminate the Burden of Land Acquisition for Farmers and thus work to preserve Agricultural Land.
- Within Hauts de France, "Terre de Liens" acts on Land
* Supporting Landless Farmers
* Raising Awareness among Citizens and Communities
* Participation in Local Discussions on Land Use Planning
* Collecting Donations for Joint Land Acquisitions

The Association works in the Territory in favor of Solidarity Access to Land for Responsible and Sustainable Agriculture.
