Embrace sustainability with candle recycling

Curious Candle Co is on a mission to make a positive impact on our environment, and it invites you to join in. With its innovative Candle Recycling Programme, you can contribute to a greener future while supporting a local small business.

Why recycle candles?

Candles hold a special place in our hearts, and Curious Candle Co believes their journey doesn’t have to end when the wax melts away. By participating in the Candle Recycling Programme, you’re helping minimise waste, reduce environmental strain and create a more sustainable world.

Here’s why your involvement matters:

• Environmental harmony: By recycling candles, we collectively reduce the demand for new resources like paraffin wax, which often comes from non-renewable sources. This simple act helps lower our carbon footprint and fosters a healthier planet.
• Waste reduction: Instead of discarding used containers and wax, your contribution ensures these materials stay out of landfills, where they can linger for years. Recycling candles translates to less waste and a cleaner, more vibrant ecosystem.
• Energy conservation: Curious Candle Co’s candle repurposing process minimises the need for energy-intensive manufacturing of new candles. This means fewer emissions and less strain on valuable energy resources.

How it works

Participating in the Candle Recycling Programme is effortless and rewarding:

• Gather your candles: Collect used candles, whether they’ve burnt out or you no longer need them. Save the containers, lids and any remaining wax. Drop them off at the Curious Candle Co premises at Stonehaven Estate, Fish Hoek, Cape Town, or they can be collected from you.
• Eco-friendly transformation: Curious Candle Co will meticulously clean and sanitise containers, removing any residue. Used wax undergoes purification and is transformed into new, eco-conscious candles.
• Reap the benefits: As a token of gratitude, you’ll receive an exclusive discount on your next purchase, allowing you to enjoy more of Curious Candle Co’s sustainable, artisanal candles.

Be a part of the movement to make a positive change, one candle at a time. By recycling your candles, you’re directly contributing to a more sustainable future while supporting a local small business. Together, we illuminate the path to a brighter, cleaner world for generations to come.
