Caring For Our Planet
Being environmentally friendly is something that is key here at Chrissi’s Cauldron. From the waxes I use, containers the candles come in, to the recycling of packaging.
WAXES
In choosing the waxes that I use, I wanted to ensure that they were being sourced from companies that used environmental and sustainable practices. Which is one of the reasons that I use suppliers that ensure the soy and palm wax is sustainably & ethically sourced.
CONTAINERS
When sourcing containers I wanted to limit plastic as much as possible & try to ensure that the containers for the soy candles were reusable or recyclable. Which is why I chose tins as they can be re-purposed. But also the range of jars that I will be using are reusable in multiple ways and all come with lids.
Unfortunately at this stage I cannot do away with plastics altogether, but where possible I am limiting as much as I can.
PACKAGING
I am recycling packaging as much as possible, so whatever I receive that has any sort of packaging in it, be it bubble wrap, paper or cardboard, I am reusing in the packages that I send out.
GIVING BACK
As part of the commitment from Chrissi’s Cauldron I decided that $1.00 from every Palm Pillar Candle sold will go to a charity that works with areas that are directly impacted by the Palm industry. Every 6 months we will chose a new charity that aligns with the ethos of Chrissi’s Cauldron.
The first charity chosen is the World Wildlife Fund, the next fund will be chosen in September. I am open to suggestions if anybody has a charity that they would like to endorse. Please feel free to contact me either by email or through the Facebook and Instagram pages.
