Sustainable candle raw materials are those that are made from natural, biodegradable materials and whose manufacturing process is environmentally friendly and energy efficient. Here are some of the most sustainable candle waxes:
Beeswax : Beeswax is a natural product obtained from the honeycombs of bees. It is biodegradable and contains natural fragrances.
Olive wax: The candle wax for the olive wax candles is obtained from the remains of olive oil production and is also biodegradable.
Rapeseed wax: The candle wax for the rapeseed wax candles is produced from natural and renewable rapeseed wax. The rapeseed wax is obtained from the seeds of rapeseed plants.
Our conclusion:
Olive wax is one of the most sustainable candle raw materials because it is made from "waste products" from olive oil production and is therefore an upcycled product. Olive wax is a natural and biodegradable material that produces little smoke and soot when burned.
