Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Candle & Match, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that luxury and eco-consciousness can go hand in hand, which is why we've carefully crafted every aspect of our candles and packaging to minimize environmental impact. From the materials we use to the partnerships we cultivate, each decision is made with the planet in mind.
Sustainable Materials and Thoughtful Design
Our candles are designed not just to elevate your space but to protect the environment as well. Here’s how we ensure our products are as planet-friendly as possible:
- Reusable & Recyclable Packaging
Our candle jars and lids are made from ethically sourced tin, which is fully recyclable and reusable. This means you can enjoy our candles knowing that the packaging can easily be repurposed or recycled after use. - Non-Toxic Fragrance Oils
We use only vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, and paraben-free fragrance oils. You get the luxury of exquisite scents without harmful chemicals—better for you and the environment. - Eco-Conscious Wax
Our candles are made with 100% soy wax, sustainably grown in the UK. Soy wax is biodegradable, renewable, vegan, and non-toxic, ensuring a clean, safe burn that doesn’t harm the planet. - Sustainable Wicks
We use wooden wicks that are FSC-certified and fully recyclable, adding a natural touch to your candle experience. Our cotton wicks are lead-free, ensuring a safer burn without compromising quality.
Packaging with the Planet in Mind
We take pride in making sure that every element of our packaging is as eco-friendly as our candles:
- Recyclable & Compostable Packaging
Our boxes are made from fully recyclable materials and are FSC-certified, while our cotton bags are compostable and reusable. Even the packing peanuts are biodegradable and starch-based, dissolving harmlessly in water. - Sustainable Seals and Labels
We use recyclable paper tape and paper labels to ensure that no part of our packaging contributes to unnecessary waste.
Supporting Local, Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
All of our candles are handcrafted in the UK in small batches to maintain quality and reduce waste. We’ve carefully chosen UK-based suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability, ensuring that we not only support local businesses but also reduce our carbon footprint by minimizing transportation distances.
To further our efforts in giving back to the environment, we’ve partnered with Ecologi. For every order placed, we plant a tree, helping to offset our carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.
From reusable cotton pouches to biodegradable packing peanuts, every detail of our packaging is designed to be as planet-friendly as the candles themselves. We believe that luxury should never come at the expense of the environment, and we’re proud to offer a candle experience that aligns with our values of sustainability, safety, and beauty.
