Sweet Sustainability
Who can resist shiny chocolate or jewel-colored candy? It’s good to know the color and shine provided by CAPOL, a Freudenberg company, is derived naturally and sustainably.
Customers have developed a demand for quality, transparency, and sustainability with their food
The confectionary industry is experiencing a change in customers' needs: Consumers are adopting a more mindful approach to sweets, paying attention not only to the sugar intake but also the additives used.
Vegetarians and vegans are rejecting the use of animal-derived ingredients. Additionally, there is a growing awareness of how food affects the planet as well as health and wellness. Consumers are becoming increasingly conscious about artificial additives. These lifestyle changes are driving a significant shift in the industry to meet the consumers' ethical and dietary needs.
