At the Home County Candle Co. we are passionate about the abundance of outstanding natural beauty surrounding our home and workshop, which is why we are committed to producing sustainable products with minimal impact on the environment. Our candles are produced from natural soy wax, which is biodegradable, and vegan friendly. Our sustainable wooden crackle wicks also not only look great but burn more slowly with a cleaner burn and more flame time.

It is important to us to support as many local businesses as we can whilst manufacturing our candles. We therefore take great care to select suppliers from within the UK, and more specifically the Home Counties wherever possible. This not only supports UK-based businesses, but also cuts our carbon emissions and the travel distances of our goods. Our wooden wicks are also more sustainable than cotton wicks, due to the pesticide intensive process of producing cotton. The boxes we use for our candles are made from virgin pulp, which comes from FSC sustainable forests, and are 100% recyclable. All of our gift boxes, gift tags and brown carrier bags are made using natural kraft derived from softwood timber pulp from Scandinavian and Northern European managed forest plantations, where far more trees are planted than harvested. The twine used for each of our candle and gift boxes is natural jute twine, which is biodegradable. All of our eco friendly candles are produced using natural soy wax developed and manufactured in the UK. Soy wax is produced using pure soy bean oil, which is a natural, 100% vegetable sustainable source. Our wax is not only therefore biodegradable but also vegan friendly.

We pledge to cut out the use of plastic bubble wrap (unless we are re-using any which is sent to us by suppliers).
