Back To Basics

Our approach to sustainability is straightforward: we promote materials that reduce environmental harm, encourage reuse, and are easier to recycle, thereby minimizing our carbon footprint.

Reduce

Reduce

We aim to reduce waste by selecting sustainably produced, toxin-free materials and using organic waxes. Our eco-friendly aluminum packaging helps conserve resources and lowers our environmental footprint.

Reuse

Reuse

To encourage reuse, our candles are designed to be repurposed into household items, extending their lifecycle and minimizing waste. Their versatile design is ideal for creative projects and everyday uses.

Recycle

Recycle

By choosing aluminum for our containers, we support efficient recycling practices, as aluminum is easier to recycle, more energy-efficient, and has a smaller carbon footprint than glass.

Eco-Friendly Choices

Aluminum

VS

#product_name

Glass

Aluminum is chemically inert and does not react with most substances, ensuring that the product maintains its quality and integrity over time.

Inert and Stable

Glass is also chemically stable and inert, making it an excellent choice for preserving the purity of contents without interacting with them.

Aluminum containers are non-toxic and safe for use with food and beverages, ensuring no harmful chemicals leach into the products.

Non-Toxic

Glass is a naturally non-toxic material that doesn’t release harmful chemicals, providing a safe storage option for consumables.

Recycling aluminum uses up to 95% less energy than producing new aluminum from raw materials, making it highly energy-efficient.

Energy Efficiency

Glass recycling is energy-intensive, requiring significant heat to melt and reform, which can lead to higher energy consumption than aluminum recycling.

The lightweight nature of aluminum reduces transportation emissions, contributing to a lower overall carbon footprint.

Reduced Emissions

Glass is heavier, leading to higher transportation emissions compared to aluminum, which can increase its environmental impact.

Aluminum is durable and resistant to breakage, reducing waste from damaged products and providing a safer handling experience.

Durability and Safety

While glass is strong, it is prone to breaking, which can lead to increased waste and potential safety hazards during transportation and use.

Aluminum is highly recyclable and can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality, making it one of the most sustainable packaging materials available.

Recyclability

Glass is recyclable and can be reprocessed multiple times, though it requires significant energy and resources to do so.

Aluminum containers can be easily repurposed and reused for various household applications, extending their lifecycle beyond initial use.

Reusability

Glass containers are often reused due to their aesthetic appeal and durability, making them popular for storage and decorative purposes.
