Sustainability

Thoughtful choices. Responsible materials. A gentler way to create home.

At The Canterbury Home, sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s a commitment woven into every decision we make. From the materials we choose to the way we package, pour, and ship our products, we’re constantly working to create beautiful home fragrances that are kinder to the planet and designed to last.

We believe luxury should never come at the cost of the environment. Our approach is simple: create intentionally, source responsibly, and always look for ways to do better.

 

Responsible Ingredients

We carefully select materials that align with our values of quality, safety, and sustainability.

  • Clean‑burning wax blends
  • High‑quality fragrance oils that meet strict safety standards
  • Cotton or wood wicks sourced from responsibly managed suppliers
  • Small‑batch production to reduce waste and over‑stocking

Every candle is crafted with intention — never mass‑produced.

 

Thoughtful Packaging

Our packaging is designed to be as beautiful as it is responsible.

  • Recyclable glass vessels
  • Minimal, FSC‑certified paper labels
  • Recyclable or compostable packaging materials
  • Plastic‑free shipping wherever possible

We’re also exploring innovative eco‑materials to further reduce our footprint.

 

Low‑Impact Shipping

We keep our shipping process as gentle on the planet as possible.

  • Lightweight, minimal packaging to reduce emissions
  • Recyclable mailers and boxes
  • Local sourcing wherever possible to reduce transport miles

We’re proud to be a Kent‑rooted brand, and we prioritise working with UK suppliers to keep our supply chain close to home.

 

Designed for Reuse

Our candle vessels are intentionally chosen for their second life.
Once your candle has finished burning, simply clean the jar and reuse it as:

  • A bud vase
  • A makeup brush holder
  • A desk organiser
  • A tealight holder
  • A small planter

Sustainability can be beautiful — and practical.

 

Our Ongoing Commitment

Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. We’re continually reviewing our materials, processes, and partnerships to ensure we’re making the most responsible choices we can.

As we grow, so will our efforts — from exploring refill options to expanding our eco‑friendly packaging solutions.

At The Canterbury Home, we’re building a brand that honours the place we call home — Kent’s landscapes, its heritage, and its future.
