About Recycled Wax

Recycled Wax is a UK-based candle studio creating design-led candles made with recycled wax blends. The brand grew out of a simple idea, that the large amount of wax left over in used candles shouldn’t go to waste. That wax is collected, cleaned, and remade into new candles, giving materials a second life while reducing the need for new raw materials. All of our candles are hand-poured in small batches, with a focus on clean design, consistent quality, and products that sit comfortably in both lifestyle and gift-led retail spaces. The range is designed to be easy to merchandise, with a clear sustainability story that customers understand at a glance. Richard, the founder, has been making candles since he was eight years old, and has worked extensively in candle wholesale and production. Recycled Wax brings that experience into a more focused, circular approach, helping combine craft, practicality, and a strong sense of purpose. The majority of the range is structured around a 3x retail markup, supporting strong margins for independent shops. The products sit comfortably in a growing space where customers are looking for design-led pieces that are also responsibly made, with environmental consideration becoming an expected standard rather than a niche. We work with independent shops, galleries, and design-led retailers who are looking for something thoughtful, well-made, and genuinely different.Read their story
