Your impact 

Give waste a new life: this kit PREVENTS THE CONTAMINATION OF 500m3 OF WATER thanks to the reuse of vegetable oils that would otherwise be wasted.

With candles made from wasted vegetable cooking oils, you contribute to a greener, healthier, and more sustainable planet. The candles are environmentally friendly products that materialize a circular economy in a domestic environment, that make people of all ages, including children, love their waste!

Save water and oil: in five days, a European citizen consumes an average of 1.000 L of water. On the other hand, for every 1L of wasted vegetable cooking oil, that is not properly recycled, it pollutes 1.000.000 L of water. 

Prevent contamination: In 90% of cases, the wasted cooking oil is poured into the sink. In contact with water, it forms a layer at the top that prevents the absorption of oxygen and sunlight by marine life. It is also difficult to eliminate in the pipelines, causing clogging and, above all, a problem in cleaning the wastewater, which is, therefore, one of the main causes of water contamination.

Live greener: Brandt sustainable soy wax candles are handmade and poured with love in Utrecht. They are hand-poured from soy wax: a sustainable product and totally vegan! Most regular candles contain animal raw materials like beeswax and stearin from animal fat. Fortunately, animal-friendly alternatives are available. The vegan candles from Brandt are made from 100% eco soy wax, natural-based oils and a lead-free wick made from eco-cotton. Also, soy wax candles burn 30% to 45% longer than paraffin candles.

More in detail:

Why soy wax?

• Soy wax is a vegan and natural ingredient
• Soy candles burn 30 to 45% longer than paraffin candles
• There less black smoke when burning soy wax candles

Soy wax

Soy wax is made from soybeans and come from family farms in the USA. The wax burns clean which means it is nontoxic and there are no added chemicals. Also, the wax has a lower melting point which allows the candle to burn longer. Soy wax is very easily to clean using water and soap.

Rapeseed wax

Rapeseed is a crop that grows in various places in Europe. There are even more and more places in the Netherlands where it grows. The oil from the crop is processed into a wax that is suitable for all kinds of purposes, including, you guessed it, candles.

Wick

The eco cotton lead-free wick is carefully chosen. The right thickness and the right size for the right candle. All to make sure it burns at its best!

Premium oils

Brandt uses non-toxic oils of premium quality, made in Europe. Also, these oils are specially made for soy wax candles which makes them perfect to mix with the wax.
