How to upcycle your empty candle jars

Hey LOVR, We are trying to be as environmentally friendly as possible and will continue to improve each day as best we can, and hope you can too!

Seeing as our candle jars are made from a high quality glass, they can be used for sooo many different purposes. We intentionally made our candle jars clear, with the main reason in mind to be multi-purpose you see.

Clear glass is always stylish, looks good anywhere, and is the most versatile in any setting from in your bathroom, to your dining room table, dressing room bench, and so on.

Firstly, you get to enjoy the mesmerising aromas from the candle when it melts.

Secondly, when your candle is done, you can clean, then up-cycle the glass housing for so many amazing purposes and I'll list them below to give you some ideas!

Lastly, ENJOY and save the environment, one glass jar at a time!

How to recycle, or upcycle everything you receive:

• Shipping Carton & Packaging box = Domestic recycling or cardboard bin.
• Filler/Packing peanuts = These biodegradable packing peanuts are made from natural, nontoxic sources, such as wheat and corn starch, and are eco friendly, biodegradable, dust, static and odour Free. Simply put them in your sink, turn the water on, and they will dissolve away... HOW AMAZING!
• Glass jar = Multi purpose which I will list below on ways to up-cycle your jar. Or if you don't wish to keep your glass jar and lid, this can also go in your domestic recycling bin.
