Business Practice
By reusing materials found on the streets of East London, our approach to business 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.
By 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.
For years now recycling has been overlooked, broken, and
BORING!!
No more half-arsed systems and guilt-driven campaigns.
We're going to make recycling sharp, loud, and impossible to ignore.
NO MORE 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 in the UK, 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, because every detail matters.
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, our cardboard boxes and everything inside is100% biodegradable and will eventually break down naturally, leaving no lasting impact on the environment.
Their durability ensures our candles are well protected in transport, while their recyclability means the material can be given new life again and again.
At Nonsense, we source all of our cardboard boxes from within the UK in order to keep out carbon footprint and our impact on the planet as small as possible.
Seeded Paper
Our seeded paper begins its journey as a pulp. Made from recycled paper,
To the pulp is then added a seasonal mixture of wildflower seeds creating a
A beautifully textured biodegradable paper.
After use simply place the paper in a small hole in some soil and watch the paper bloom into something beautiful.
What was once waste, now carries the potential to bloom into something unexpectedly beautiful.
(depending on the season)
Seeds include a wildflower mix of:
- Cornflower
- Cosmos
- Siberian Wallflower
Tape
Many traditional parcel tapes are made with solvent based adhesives that release VOCs,
(volatile organic compounds).into the atmosphere after they are binned.
harmful chemicals that can affect both health and the environment as a whole.
At Nonsense our parcel tape is completely free of all VOCs, offering a safer, cleaner, and more sustainable alternative without compromising on strength or quality.
Our tape can also be recycled while still attached to a cardboard box.
You do not need to peel it off, as our paper-based tape breaks down naturally during the cardboard repulping process.

“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.
