THIS PRODUCT CAN BE USED AS A FULLY FUNCTIONING MUG AFTER YOU HAVE BURNED THE CANDLE. MADE WITH COCONUT WAX AND A WOOD WICK.
WAX REMOVAL OPTIONS
1. Place the candle in the freezer for several hours or until it is frozen. The wax should pop right out of the container, but you can also loosen it with a butter knife if necessary. Scrape off any residue and then clean the container with soap and water.
2. Pour hot water into the mug, leaving room at the top. The hot water will melt the wax and it will float to the top. Let the water cool and remove the wax.
Detour Educational Points
1. The EPA reports that 16 million tons of textile waste is created each year, 10 million tons of which end up in landfills. Breaking down at a very slow rate, filled with toxins, creating pollution in the air, and worse problems for future generations. We actively upcycle to reduce and reuse."
2. The equivalent of one garbage truck full of clothes is burned or dumped in a landfill every second. (UNEP, 2018).
3. The fashion industry is responsible for 8-10% of humanity's carbon emissions -- more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined... (UNEP, 2018).
