Don’t Toss It—Transform It: How to Reuse Our 9oz Glass Jar Candles

When your favorite candle finally burns down to the bottom, don’t be too quick to toss the jar. Our 9oz glass jar candles with sleek black lids and durable permanent labels aren’t just designed to look good while burning—they’re also fully recyclable and reusable.

Here’s why that matters—and a few creative ways to give your jar a second life.

 

 

The Eco-Friendly Design

We designed our 9oz candles with sustainability in mind:

Thick glass jars that are 100% recyclable

Screw-on black lids for airtight storage

Permanent labels that stay intact (even after washing), adding a stylish touch to your repurposed jar

When your candle is done, the jar doesn’t need to go to waste. With a quick clean-up, it becomes the perfect blank canvas for creativity—or simply a handy storage solution.

 

 

How to Clean Out Your Jar

Freeze Method:
Pop the jar in the freezer for a few hours. The leftover wax will shrink and can be gently pried out with a butter knife.

Boiling Water Method:
Pour boiling water into the jar. The wax will float to the top as it melts. Let it cool, then remove and wipe clean.

Wash & Dry:
Use dish soap and warm water to remove any residue, then let the jar dry completely.

Final Thought

Candles bring warmth and personality to your space, but the jar they come in can live on long after the flame fades. By choosing candles with reusable packaging, you're making a small choice that adds up to a greener planet.
