# Sustainable Clean-Burning Logs CleanFlame Fire Logs Are Crafted from 100% Recycled Materials By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2014-01-17 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleanflame-fire-logs References: [cleanflame](http://www.cleanflame.com) & [cleanflame](http://www.cleanflame.com/products_firelogs.aspx) Whether it’s for camping or use in a wood stove, CleanFlame fire logs provide a green alternative for fire fuel that is plentiful with benefits that make it a clear winner for replacing traditional logs. Created out of 100% recycled materials, CleanFlame fire logs are 80% lighter than traditional wood and require 80% less space as well, which makes portability and storage significantly easier. CleanFlame fire logs are crafted from wax-coated cardboard boxes, which are found in just about every store across the country. Because of the extensive time and resources required to make them recyclable, up to 95% of them end up in landfills. CleanFlame fire logs make use of the boxes by transforming them into a clean burning fuel source that’s even suitable to cook food over, which means they’ll make enjoying a fire a pleasurable pastime without having to compromise. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Fire Fuel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new eco-friendly fire fuels using recycled materials for a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to traditional logs. - **Lightweight Fire Logs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create fire logs that are significantly lighter than traditional wood, improving portability and ease of use. - **Upcycled Packaging Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Find new uses for commonly discarded packaging materials, such as wax-coated cardboard boxes, to reduce waste and create value-added products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor Recreation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable fire fuel products specifically for camping and outdoor activities to cater to the growing demand for eco-friendly options. - **Home Heating:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design lightweight fire logs for wood stoves and fireplaces to provide an efficient and environmentally friendly heating solution for residential and commercial buildings. - **Packaging and Recycling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore ways to upcycle packaging materials like wax-coated cardboard boxes, transforming them into valuable products, and contributing to a more sustainable circular economy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Resuable Miniature Camping Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozy-canadian-campfires-kit.md) - [Sustainable Charcoal Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-good-charcoal-company.md) - [Convenient Personal Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-fireplace1.md) - [Renewable Energy Camping Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adventure-boilgrill.md) - [Eco-Friendly Single-Use Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casusgrill.md) - [Gas-Powered Campfire Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lavabox.md) - [Slick Rechargeable Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rechargeable-lighter.md) - [Breath-Activated Flameless Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-torch.md) - [Mixed-Material Tabletop Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brasscene-harmony-flame-fireplace.md)
