Recycling

You’ve burned through your candle, now what?

Luckily, we’ve designed our vessels to be not only functional and beautiful, but also reusable. You can help reduce waste and live a more sustainable lifestyle by upcycling your vessel!

Here’s a simple way to recycle your container:

  1. Remove any labels from the vessel. Goo Gone is super helpful with this step.
  2. Fill a pot or kettle with enough water to fill the vessel and bring to a boil.
  3. Making sure that the vessel is on a flat, heat resistant surface, carefully pour the water into the empty vessel, filling to just below the lip. Be very careful when handling the vessel, as it will get very hot.
  4. Allow the vessel to sit. The boiling water will slowly melt the wax, which will then float to the surface of the water.
  5. Once completely cooled, the wax will harden into a disc on the surface of the water. Push on one side of the wax, and simply pop it out of the vessel. Use a spoon or butter knife to scrape any excess wax, being careful not to scratch the jar.
  6. Wash any remaining residue with soap and water and wipe clean with a towel.
  7. Enjoy your recycled container!
