Repurposed Coconut Shell Candles

Backyard Candles Upcycles Coconuts as Candle Casings

— February 28, 2023 — Eco
Backyard Candles introduces a new way to use coconut shells in the form of candle casings. The candle manufacturer is rooted in sustainable practices and uses environmentally friendly wax to create its candles. This includes sot, coconuts, and beeswax. In addition to this, the recycled shells have been fortified to be durable and withstand the melted wax contents that it holds.

As a result, the tropical look of the candles is the perfect accent to any home. The company provides other options as the candle containers as well. Some of these include reusable glass, eco-resin, tins, and ceramics. Currently, it offers 52 distinct perfumes, which provide an option every single week throughout the entire year.
