REDUCE

Our goal is sustainable production, in harmony with nature. This means, among other things, that we actively work to avoid waste and use production techniques that conserve resources. This includes, for example, reducing our water consumption by recycling water and using rainwater. We primarily use solar energy. Of course, we produce in accordance with environmental laws and regulations.

REUSE

With a little creativity, our candle jars can be reused in many different ways - and we'll show you how!

Cleaning tips for the candle glass

• Let the candle burn until about 1 centimeter of wax remains at the bottom of the candle

• Pour water into a pot large enough to hold the candle jar and then place the jar in the water. Please never place the candle jar in the oven or microwave as this could cause the jar to break!
  
  

• Slowly heat the water to melt any remaining wax. Once the wax has melted, use a spoon to remove it from the jar

• Be careful when taking the glass out of the water so you don't burn yourself!
  
  

• Never pour the melted wax down the drain! You can either pour the wax residue into a wax melting container for further use, or into a container that can then be thrown in the trash. Please also throw the remaining wick in the trash

• Soak the glass in warm soapy water for about 24 hours, the label can then be easily removed
  
  
• Last labels and wax residues can be removed with the help of a brush or sponge
  
  

• Then let the glass air dry or dry it with a cloth.

RECYCLE

Most of the Farm to Aromatherapy packaging is recyclable, however, guidelines for recycling change based on where you live. Be sure to check your local guidelines before recycling our packaging.

To recycle glass, it is separated into a clear, green, and brown glass. Farm to Aromatherapy glass products would be recycled in the brown category. However, in some places glass recycling isn't available, so the reuse of glass is recommended.

The clear flexible plastic we use in case the reed diffuser bottle and the wax melt clamshell is Plastic #1 and it is a highly recyclable plastic resin. Plastic #1 is accepted with most curbside recycling programs.

The caps to our essential oil bottles are Plastic #5. This type of plastic is often left out of curbside recycling programs. Be sure to check with your local recycling program because Plastic #5 is growing in popularity as a recyclable plastic.

Any shrink wrap you find on our products, such as on the neck of the reed diffuser bottle is Plastic #4. To recycle this type of plastic check with your local grocery store. They might accept this plastic along with plastic shopping bags.

Our essential oil boxes, incense boxes, and the paperboard insert for the reed diffuser are all recyclable and are generally accepted in curbside programs. Please make sure to remove the plastic from the incense boxes and the essential oil boxes before placing these in the paperboard recycling.
