# Multipurpose Honey Containers This Honey Packaging Design Doubles as a Candle By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-11-19 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-packaging-design References: [packaginguqam.blogspot](http://packaginguqam.blogspot.ca/2014/11/bee-bright-maude-paquette-boulva-uqam.html) This honey packaging design concept from Maude Paquette-Boulva is smart, serves a [dual purpose](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candle-refill-kit) and is [eco-friendly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compostable-packaging-concept). For starters, the honey is packaged inside a container made out of beeswax and topped with a wooden lid. Once the honey has been used up, the container can be turned onto its head and used as a candle. In this state, the candle wick can be found on what used to be the bottom of the container and the wooden lid can now be used as a base for the [beeswax candle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-solids-1). To make both uses of the objects clear, the beeswax is printed with a bold graphic that shows that you can flip the container over to make it even more useful after the honey on the inside is all gone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** Develop sustainable packaging that serves dual purpose to reduce waste and promote eco-friendliness - **Circular Design:** Create packaging designs that serve multiple purposes to promote a circular economy and reduce waste - **Functional Decor:** Design products that are functional and visually appealing, providing multiple uses and benefits to the consumer ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Develop eco-friendly packaging solutions to reduce waste in the food and beverage industry while also increasing functionality - **Home Decor:** Explore functional decor concepts that provide dual purposes for consumers, such as this honey packaging design that doubles as a candle - **Sustainability:** Promote sustainable design and circular economy initiatives by developing innovative and functional eco-friendly packaging concepts ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual-Function Incense Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yongxi-incense-storage-and-holder.md) - [Recyclable Honey Sachets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-snap-and-squeeze.md) - [Honeybee-Themed Fragrance Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alvari-collection.md) - [Zero-Waste Refillable Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filz.md) - [Coconut-Encased Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backyard-candles.md) - [Ceramic Olive Oil Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cugu.md) - [Wildflower Honey-Holding Spoons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beemax.md) - [Convenient Honey-Holding Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/al-malaky-royal.md) - [Edible Treat Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treat-container.md)
