Our Eco Sustainability Journey. At Hideaway Home Fragrances, we believe that you don’t have to be a big business to make a big impact and have committed to be a sustainable brand that cares for the environment and the future. Our Eco Sustainability Journey reflects our pledge to implement practices that benefit both consumers and the planet.

Our company is built on a desire to do business better and to put ethics first. We believe that an inspiring company cares for more than just its profit; it must also consider how its actions impact the natural world. This mindset drives us to take small yet meaningful steps toward sustainability.

As a brand, we have meticulously chosen ethically and sustainably sourced materials and packaging that align with our values. Our Eco Sustainability Journey initiatives are central to our mission, whether we sell one product a day or hundreds. We are proud to say that we are a plastic-free company committed to eco-friendly practices.

Products:

As a proud British company, we will continue to create all our products right here in the heart of the National Forest. Our commitment includes:

• Using materials that are ethically sourced with our carbon footprint in mind.
• Utilising natural ingredients to produce our products, such as our soy wax made in the UK from pure soya bean oil, which is environmentally friendly and Vegan.
• Ensuring that we have never tested our products on animals, maintaining the highest quality and efficacy.
• Packaging our candles, diffusers, and their refills in glass made from a percentage of recycled materials, ensuring they are 100% recyclable.
• Offering candle tins that can be upcycled and crafting a wildflower seeded dust cover for repurposing your candle vessel.
• Producing soy wax melts finished with biodegradable dried botanicals and woods, all packaged in seeded plantable boxes.
• Using seeded plantable packaging made from 100% recycled paper embedded with real wildflower seeds.
• Employing vegetable-based ink for our product packaging, ensuring it is fully biodegradable.
• Launching our first refill products in 2024 to enhance sustainability by requiring less packaging and extending product life.
• Utilizing HP cartridges made from recycled plastics as part of our eco-friendly printing practices.

Packaging:

Our commitment extends to packaging, where we eliminate plastic and use various paper and recyclable alternatives:

• Postal boxes made from FSC approved biodegradable cardboard.
• Bio-fil for product protection, dissolvable in water to reduce landfill waste.
• Hand-stamped boxes with non-toxic, water-based inks.
• Eco-friendly tissue paper.
• Shredded kraft paper for internal protection, fully recyclable.
• Packages sealed with 100% biodegradable & compostable brown recycled paper tape.
• Personalized candles shipped in compostable bags made from a corn starch blend.

We have developed a meticulous packing strategy to ensure the highest level of protection for our products while minimizing waste.

Energy and Distribution:

We focus on sustainability in our energy use, employing energy-saving LED light bulbs across our office and studio. These bulbs last longer and use 90% less energy compared to traditional bulbs, contributing to lower CO2 emissions.

At Hideaway Home Fragrances, we continually seek innovative ways to enhance our sustainability journey, ensuring that every step aligns with our commitment to the environment.
