What are recycled candles?

If you want to make particularly environmentally friendly candles, then use recycled candles.


But what are recycled candles?

Recycled candles are candles that are made from previously used candle leftovers or leftover wax. Instead of throwing away the leftovers, they are melted down, cleaned and reused to make new candles. This process reduces waste and enables sustainable use of resources.

Recycled candles can either be made at home as a DIY project by collecting old leftover candles and melting them to cast new candles, or purchased directly from commercial companies.

Would you like to make a new candle from leftover candles that you have already used? No problem. You can get the instructions here, and you can find various scented oils and candle colors in our CandleCraft Shop.

Have fun creating your own recycled candle!
