Recycling and Reusing Our Candles
At The French Candle, we are committed to not only delivering premium candles but also to ensuring our products leave the smallest environmental footprint possible.
From the very inception of our packaging to the materials used in our candles, we have taken great care to prioritise sustainability.
We are proud to say that our packaging is 100% recyclable
Recycling Instructions
Cardboard Box: The cardboard box that houses your candle can be easily recycled by placing it in your home recycling bag. It’s designed with the environment in mind, as it’s made from cardboard that naturally degrades without leaving microplastics in nature.
Glass Jar: Glass is highly recyclable and can be transformed into new glass products without losing its quality. To recycle the glass jar, simply place it in your local recycling glass crate.
Reusing Glass Jars
We encourage you to give your candle glass jar a second life by repurposing it for various creative uses:
- Flower Vase
- Pen Holder
- Small items Storage Container (buttons, beads…)
- Drinking Glass
How to clean your candle jar for reuse
To prepare the glass jar for reuse, follow these steps:
- Removing any remaining Wax: Place the jar in the freezer for a few hours. This will cause the wax to shrink and make it easier to remove. You can then use a dull knife or a spoon to gently chip away the remaining wax.
- Soaking the Jar: After you’ve removed as much wax as possible, soak the jar in hot water to loosen any remaining wax residue.
- Thorough Cleaning: Wash the jar with a sponge and warm, soapy water to remove any residue. If needed, rubbing it with oil can help eliminate any last traces of wax residue.
- Rinse and Dry: Rinse the jar thoroughly with clean water and let it air dry.
