The Story Behind SmoothEdges' Upcycled Bottle Candles
At SmoothEdge, we’re all about turning waste into something useful and our hand-poured upcycled candles are no exception. Designed with sustainability and style in mind, each candle is a little beacon of circular living. Made from repurposed wine bottles, our candles are not just home accessories; they’re part of a bigger mission to reduce landfill waste and give glass a second life.
Why Our Candles Are Different
Each year, millions of glass bottles and candle jars end up in landfills, despite being perfectly reusable. At SmoothEdge, we believe in doing things differently. That’s why every candle we make is upcycled from a discarded wine bottle. They're carefully cleaned, cut, polished, and transformed into a stylish, eco-conscious vessel for a luxurious burn.
-
Upcycled from 70cl wine bottles – giving waste glass a second life
-
Approx. 40-hour burn time – for long-lasting, indulgent fragrance
-
Eco-friendly wax – hand-poured in small batches for a clean, even burn
A Candle That Keeps On Giving
One of the best things about our candles? They don’t end when the flame does. We’ve created a super simple refill system so that your upcycled vessel never goes to waste.
Here’s how it works:
-
Once your candle is finished, place the vessel in warm water.
-
After a couple of minutes, the leftover wax will soften and lift away.
-
Wipe clean, pop in one of our custom refills, and enjoy your candle all over again.
This means you get a reusable candle with a low-waste, low-fuss solution, good for your home, and even better for the planet.
Whether it’s sitting pretty on a dinner table or glowing gently in your living room, our candles are proof that eco-friendly can also be elegant.
So next time you light a SmoothEdge candle, know that you're not just enjoying a beautiful scent, you're supporting a more circular, conscious way of living.
