Celebrate National Recycling Week: Embrace the Benefits of Reuse

National Recycling Week is the perfect time to reflect on our commitment to sustainability and explore the ways we can make a positive impact through reuse and recycling. At CandleXchange, we’re proud to partner with organisations that support innovative recycling solutions, helping you turn your waste into valuable resources. This week, we’re highlighting the benefits of reuse and showcasing our incredible partners who are making a difference.

The Power of Reuse

Reuse is a powerful tool in our environmental arsenal. By giving items a second life, we reduce waste, conserve resources, and lower our carbon footprint. When we choose to reuse, we’re not just recycling; we’re making a conscious decision to support a circular economy where materials are continually cycled back into use rather than ending up in landfills.

Our Partners in Recycling Innovation

1. Banish

At Banish, recycling is more than a passion; it’s a mission. Their Banish Recycling and Disposal Program (BRAD) offers an end-to-end solution for recycling hard-to-recycle household items. From blister packs and toothpaste tubes to lotion bottles and bread tags, BRAD makes it easy to recycle items that often end up in the trash. CandleXchange is proud to collaborate with Banish, delivering educational workshops and activations in the workplace, and offering discounts for BRAD customers. Together, we’re making recycling accessible and effective.

2. Recycle Smart

Recycle Smart is transforming the way we handle hard-to-recycle items by offering doorstep collection services. They connect these items with recycling partners, including CandleXchange. Our collaboration involves collecting used candle containers, which are then refilled and donated to survivors of domestic violence through our UpCandle program. This partnership not only helps divert waste from landfills but also supports a meaningful cause, providing a fresh start for those in need.

3. W.I.S.E (Waste Innovation, Sustainability, and Environmental Impact)

W.I.S.E is revolutionising community recycling with their innovative collection program. They focus on creating sustainable solutions and rewarding customers who participate in their recycling efforts. Through W.I.S.E, you can earn exclusive savings and discounts on sustainable products, including CandleXchange candles, and support local businesses. Their commitment to recycling is about more than just collecting waste; it’s about fostering a culture of environmental stewardship and sustainability.
