There is no such thing as away. When you throw something away it must go somewhere.
Annie Leanard, Founder: The Story of Stuff
We’ve all seen videos of plastic islands that are floating in giant clumps in our oceans; of sea animals struggling to swim due to rings of plastic encircling their necks. Or, closer to home, the plastic pollution on our streets and in our parks.
Plastic Free July is the global movement that began in 2011 and aims at assisting millions of consumers and businesses to reduce their single-use plastic usage by making better choices.
Here at Mojo Candle Co we, too, are committed to doing the same so we can all enjoy “cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities” and to help be a part of the solution to our world’s plastic pollution issue.
Personally for us taking the Plastic Free July challenge is the perfect way of rethinking the way we live, how we consume and encourages us to find solutions that can help us to change habits that remain long after the challenge is over.
These are all simple switches that collectively make a big difference over the course of a year.
Below are some of our faves that we like to have with us when we're on the go...

Our Glass Vessels
are made of reclaimed Wine & Beer bottles collected from Wineries & Breweries around Australia and are packaged in a brown kraft paper wrap.
Our Ceramic Vessels
are all handmade in Australia and packaged in reusable cotton pouches.
Our Diffusers
are all poured into reclaimed bottles and utilise natural diffuser reeds rather than the synthetic versions. This means when they reach their end-of-life they will break down naturally and far quicker than their synthetic counterparts. This can be demonstrated by the natural curves in our reed sticks rather than the dead-straight, synthetic versions of other commercial reed diffusers.
