RECANDLING PICK-UP AND DELIVERY SERVICE

Keeping the flame lit on sustainability

Candles always add a nice touch to any event. But at the end of the night the glass, plastic and metal containers usually end up being thrown out.

We believe in reducing our ecological footprint with everything we do.

 

So, we created our recandling pickup and delivery service that adds new wax and wicks to your existing holders. Never throw out a votive, tea light, or pillar candle again!

Better for Business

Recandling often costs the same, if not less than buying new candles. So,not only could you save money, but reusing your existing candle holders means you have control of your inventory, so you’ll never have to worry about suppliers running out.

Friendlier
to the Environment

When you reuse your candles, you’re not just giving them a second life. You benefit the environment and greater good of the community by keeping thousands of candle holders out of the landfill.

Why does recandling matter?

Over 1 billion single-use candles are produced annually. 

Production at this scale requires a lot of energy, natural resources, material and transportation, all contributing to waste and leaving a large ecological footprint.

Only 8% of them are recycled.

This is due to a lack of widespread recycling options. That’s a lot that ends up in landfills, unable to biodegrade for many, many years.
