In the spirit of a recent write-up by Redfin (15 Eco-Friendly Scents For Your Home | Redfin) discussing eco-friendly home products, we wanted to revist with a blog post of our own to cast more light on some of our sustainable practices.
Candle Containers: More than meets the eye
Our dedication to sustainability is evident in the careful selection of our 9oz candle jars and 3.5oz travel tins. Beyond the typical considerations for size, shape, design and safety, a big part of our decision to use these containers was for their ability to be repurposed. Both containers come with lids to help hold in future objects that may be stored in them. We have also shared some of our favorite ideas when it comes to repurposing your containers in this recent blog post; 2sonscandleco | Rinse, Reuse, Repeat.
How is packaging sustainable?
When it comes to packaging our products we not only think about making sure the product arrives in one piece. We also take into consideration any eco-conscious practices and material that we can use to get the product to your door in one piece. Each order comes with a 'Packing Peanuts' card, an informative touch meant to introduce our customers to our biodegradable starch-based packing peanuts. These peanuts not only secure and protect the contents of the package but are also made from organic starch-based potatoes. They dissolve in water with zero impact on the planet, embodying our commitment to leaving no trace behind.
Tape that Treads Lightly
Our commitment to sustainability doesn't stop at the product; it extends to the very tape that seals the package that delivers the product. We've sourced packing tape that is 100% biodegradable and eco-friendly. Once the cardboard box is recycled, the tape breaks down, leaving no lasting impact on the environment. Our dedication to sustainable packaging doesn't just stop at tape; we've selected cartons and muslin bags that can be recycled and reused, ensuring that every aspect of our packaging aligns with our mission to reduce our ecological footprint.
Small but Mighty
As a small company, we recognize that our impact may not be on the scale of larger organizations. Still, we firmly believe that our efforts are not meaningless. Every candle sold, every order packed, and every parcel shipped carries with it a commitment to leave this planet better than we found it. It's a promise to the next generation, a pledge to sustain the beauty of our world for years to come.
At 2sonscandleco, we invite you to join us in this journey towards a more sustainable future. Embrace the warmth of our candles, knowing that each flicker represents a small but significant step toward a greener, healthier planet. Together, let's leave this world in a better place for our children and our childrens children.
