REDUCE-REUSE-RECYCLE

Did you know that beeswax has a shelf life of 5 years. We keep the lifespan of our products at the top of mind, from production all the way to what happens to containers once you’ve used up your beeswax candle or room spray. This past summer, we kick started our jar recycling program, and have a few useful suggestions on how to reuse containers. We even offer beeswax refill kits.

REUSE CONTAINERS

There are many creative ways in which you can reuse your empties. Use them for storage, organizing your home or office, or as planters or propagation vessels. The possibilities are endless, but first, make sure to properly clean your candle jars.

HOW TO CLEAN OUT YOUR JAR

OVEN METHOD: Remove all DKK labels and pop your candle jar in the oven at its lowest setting until any remaining wax melts. Carefully remove the jar from the oven to pour the wax into the trash, pop out the wick holder using a spoon or fork, and wipe the inside clean with a cloth. Hand wash, rinse, and dry.
FREEZER METHOD: Place your candle into the freezer until the remaining wax hardens, then carefully chip out and throw away the wax using a spoon, being sure to remove the wick holder as well. Use a cloth to wipe the inside clean, hand wash, rinse, and dry.
WATER METHOD: Bring a pot of water to a boil then carefully pour hot water into you jar. This will bring your wax to the top for easy removal. Use a cloth to wipe the inside clean, hand wash, rinse, and dry.

PRO TIP!

If you’re reusing your amber glass candle jar as a planter, add some small rocks for drainage to the bottom before adding soil. For Sunset candles, you can use a drill to carefully create a drainage hole.
