Sustainable Flames is the eco-friendly alternative to traditional candles. With their reusable jars made from high-quality glass, candles can be refilled with their very own eco-friendly wax and wicks, giving customers the option to enjoy the same scent and ambiance without contributing to unnecessary waste and unneeded glass production.
With a variety of fragrances, sustainability is at the heart of their business with the goal to make sustainable living accessible and luxurious one candle at a time.
Sustainable Flames is guided by the belief that “Sustainability is no longer a choice, but it is a responsibility. If we keep saying that the planet is not our problem, or that someone else will take care of it, our resources are going to be depleted at a rate that we cannot keep up with. Each individual can play a part, and this candle project is us taking that first step toward making a difference.”
The business claims that glass greatly contributes to sustainability issues, as 50 billion tons of sand a year are used to make glass. However, the Earth cannot produce sand as fast as we are using it. Transportation also plays a role due to the weight of the sand causing transportation to cost more than usual.
Instead of shying away from the issue, Donum, the lifestyle brand that birthed Sustainable Flames, is promoting sustainable living in every area possible. With a goal in mind of influencing change and innovating products, they want to make sustainability our normal way of life.
