CERAMIC VESSEL
Our eco friendly candle jars are re-useable and recyclable, the jar is an inert clay material and is also strong and relatively lightweight, presenting an attractive container for storing many small items around the house.
The jar can also be cleaned and is dishwasher safe for deep cleaning. We have used the jars for small succulent planters, drinking glasses and also have grown cedar seedlings in them for transplant.
The jars can also be refilled with either a tealight or wax and fragrance of your choice for further enjoyment as a candle.
While ceramic is not recycled everywhere in the province, there are some depots that accept ceramic and send it to a recycling facility where it is ground to dust again and sold to ceramic makers creating new products.
A home alternative for recycling is to use a hammer or other heavy object and smash and crush the material into small fragments and use it in a garden as a conditioner for you soils.
Recycling
Our eco friendly packaging (the black presentation box) can be reused as a storage box for various dry items, or as a desk top for pens or painting brushes etc.
If a second use is not possible the boxes, labels and care cards are made 100 percent of post-consumer fibres. The box, label and care cards can be recycled together with other paper and printed packaging, using collection or drop off depots available in many communities in Canada.
In most cases, such collected fibre is recycled in to new products reducing the need for new harvesting of trees for first use pulp and paper.
In House Packaging:
We also recycle a majority of the recycled cardboard and packing paper which arrives in our studio from our suppliers when we pack candles for shipping to our wholesale and retail customers.
