SUSTAINABILITY IS MORE THAN A GOAL
We care a great deal about our environmental impact. For us, sustainability is just the right thing to do. It’s also the smart thing to do. But it takes work and we're never "done". Eliminating waste is an ongoing process and a daily commitment to finding green initiatives that work—for us and the planet.
Our Sustainability Efforts
-
Reusable/Recyclable Components
We proudly pour our candles into containers that are American-made, recyclable, and repurposable. Our Wood Lid Return Program reclaims used candle lids and puts them back to work.
-
Recycling Cardboard Waste
We were already recycling cardboard waste but wanted to find a way to reduce or eliminate it entirely. Our cardboard shredder turns used shipping boxes into candle packing material for wholesale and online orders.
-
"Leftovers" Candles
Made with hand-poured layers of our scented 100% natural soy wax “leftover” at the end of a production run, our waste-reducing candles are a fun (and great-smelling) way to go green.
