Sustainability - MIXMY

MIXMY is committed to supporting the planet as best we can, whether that be in how we produce our products or how we run the business.

MIXMY was founded on a no-waste belief – our aim is to make candles work so much harder; empowering you to adapt and personalise your home fragrance experience, so you never again tire of your home scents, eliminating the need for the candle graveyard – that cupboard where forgotten, half burnt candles end up once you get bored of them – so, ultimately reducing waste.

We encourage the MIXMY team and our wonderful family of customers to refill, reuse and recycle everything they can.

Our products are hand crafted in the UK, and don’t travel far to reach MIXMY headquarters, a farm in the heart of Yorkshire, where Vicky, her family and the small MIXMY team personally pack every single order.

We’re by no means perfect, but as a business, we are continually looking to improve the ways in which we support our planet.

Renewable Sources

MIXMY Primary Candles and Primary Candle Refills are hand-crafted in the UK and are consciously made with 100% natural vegetable wax, sourced from sustainable origins.

REFILL . REUSE . RECYCLE

Refilling is considered the most sustainable option when faced with what to do with used packaging. It limits energy use and raw materials used to make from new every time. So whilst MIXMY’s bespoke glass is completely recyclable, we offer a range of Primary Candle Refills so our beautiful bespoke glass can be reused time and time again.

OUR PACKAGING

Although we recommend you refill or reuse your MIXMY glass container, MIXMY candle glass is 100% recyclable once cleaned.

We believe in responsible forestry, so in addition to our retail cartons being fully recyclable, they have been made from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) approved stock.

Our online mailer boxes, crinkle fill and paper tape are all fully recyclable.

Our Primary Candle Refills come in packaging we’ve actually grown! We’ve used mycelium – the root-like structure of mushrooms – to grow the packaging that protects our Primary Candle Refills. Mycelium is completely home-compostable and will disappear without a trace within 45 days when exposed to regular moisture.

While household recycling has increased, reports suggest that efforts are mostly focused on food packaging, meaning hundreds of thousands of other household waste items - such as candles - are still heading straight for landfill. In fact, research shows that only 8% of candle containers get recycled and over 35 million candle containers end up in landfill every year.

Repurposing your candle vessels helps, but there are only so many candle vessel make-up brush holders and herb containers you need!
Personal accountability is one thing, but sustainability is quite another. MIXMY is committed to supporting the planet as best we can. That’s why our mission is to make refill sales out perform candles. Buy a MIXMY Primary Candle once, and refill again and again. Better for the planet and 40% cheaper than buying a new Primary Candle.

In honour of National Fragrance Week, let me tell you a little more about MIXMY fragrances - whilst the idea of burning two candles together isn’t exactly rocket science; the art of creating a collection of fragrances that combine with each other to create considered new fragrances isn’t far off!
We spent a year working very closely with world-class Perfumers to create our debut collection of fragrances that each smell incredible on their own, yet combine to create whole new fragrance combinations.
We then spent another year conducting countless burn trials to determine the perfect wick and ideal fragrance concentration for each candle. Due to the complexity of each candle formulation needing to combine beautifully alongside each other - without overpowering or underperforming alongside other fragrances - every candle has been meticulously formulated to guarantee the very best quality diffusion, ensuring a seamless synergy of scents that work beautifully together whatever the combination.

Spring has sprung! I spent the weekend power-washing the paving slabs. An awful job, but oh so satisfying! Inch by inch, slowly removing the green slime which had accumulated over the Winter to reveal a fresh, new garden.
To me, Spring is all about reinvigoration, a renewed energy, anticipation of the warmer and longer days ahead, the planning of garden soirees with friends (in the hope it doesn’t rain!); and with that comes the desire for a change in home fragrance to reflect the change in season.

The beauty of MIXMY Scented Candles is that they can be combined to create new fragrance combinations, or Scent Destinations™. No need to go out and buy new scented candles. Just combine different Primary Candles to create whole new fragrances. No more wasted, half burn candles because they no longer suit the season or your mood!
