to ensure our Carbon footprint is as little as possible)
Hand Poured
Each of our candles is poured by hand.
We only work with naturally sourced soy wax.
A material that, like nature itself, never repeats itself exactly.
Subtle variations in form make every candle one of a kind that reflect the artistry behind it.
Once poured, each piece is carefully inspected to meet our high standards because beauty should never come at the cost of quality.
If the candle doesn't meet our high standards... we simply recycle it into a new one, so no wax ever goes to waist.
Business Practice
At Nonsense Candles we pride ourselves on our commitment to our resourcefulness.
We believe in maximising the potential of what we already have and transforming items you see in the street into something cool for your home. ensuring a clean, eco-friendly burn that you can trust each and every time.
By reusing and repurposing materials, our approach reflects our dedication to both the environment and our community, fostering innovation and creativity in every aspect of the creative process.
As a small brand, we believe in doing things differently.
Choosing natural ingredients we minimise waste and consider every detail that other companies often overlook in pursuit of profit.
We want to prove to you that luxury doesn't have to cost the Earth.
Our Goal
Our goal is simple:
To re define the recycling game.
Not for profit, but for purpose.
In a world where waste on the street has become the new norm, we see an opportunity to do better.
For years, recycling has been overlooked, broken, and frankly, boring. We’ve been told it’s important but behind the scenes, much of it ends up burned for the sake of convenience.
No more half-baked systems and guilt-driven campaigns.
We're making recycling sharp, loud, and impossible to ignore. It's time to turn waste into power.
Bold. Clean. No bullshit.
“It is one world. And it’s in our care.
For the first time in the history of humanity,
for the first time in 500 million years,
one species has the future in the palm of its hands.”
— David Attenborough
Sustainability Commitment
We believe luxury shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense.
That’s why every aspect of our candles, from the wax to the packaging is thoughtfully chosen to minimize environmental impact.
Our wax is sustainably sourced, biodegradable, and burns cleaner than traditional paraffin candles.
We use recyclable and compostable materials wherever possible, and partner with suppliers in the UK to really focus on our Carbon footprint,
At Nonsense Candles, every detail matters from our recyclable boxes to the labels and even the tape that seals them.
Nothing is chosen by accident.
PACKAGING
As consumers, you have the power to influence how big companies operate. But as a small business, we have the opportunity to redefine the process entirely.
Cardboard Box
Cardboard boxes are one of the most sustainable choices for packaging, made primarily from recycled fibers and fully recyclable after use. Unlike plastic alternatives, cardboard is biodegradable and breaks down naturally, leaving no lasting impact on the environment.
Their durability ensures our candles are well protected, while their recyclability means the material can be given new life again and again.
Seeded Paper
Seeded paper begins its journey as recycled paper, giving existing fibers a second life.
A beautifully textured paper, created from what once was waste, now carrying within it the potential to bloom into flowers when planted.
Seeds include a wildflower mix with varieties like Cornflower, Cosmos, and Siberian Wallflower.
Tape
Many traditional parcel tapes are made with solvent based adhesives that release VOCs,
(volatile organic compounds).
harmful chemicals that can affect both health and the environment. These toxins make recycling difficult, as separating the adhesive from other materials is costly and complex.
Our parcel tape on the other hand is completely free from VOCs, offering a safer, cleaner, and more sustainable alternative without compromising on strength or quality.

“We are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change and the last generation that can do something about it.”
There is no such thing as "away". When we throw anything away it must go somewhere.
I would rather see us recycle fewer things well, than more things poorly.
