L'Échoppe Buissonnière: Our commitments to ethical and sustainable production
In a world dominated by fast consumption, we believe it is essential to slow down, get back to basics and consume thoughtfully. At L'Échoppe Buissonnière , our scented candles are not just decorative objects: they embody strong values of craftsmanship, ethics and sustainability. Discover our commitments that make each candle a respectful choice for you and the planet.
1. Natural and environmentally friendly raw materials
- 100% vegetable wax : Our candles are made from 100% vegetable wax, a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based paraffin. This wax is biodegradable, renewable, and guarantees a cleaner burn.
- Grasse Perfumes : Our scents are carefully crafted from scented oils from Grasse, the world capital of perfume. These aromas are phthalate-free and respectful of your health.
- Natural Cotton Wicks : We use only natural cotton wicks for optimal combustion and no toxic residue.
2. Artisanal and local production
- Local production : Our candles are handmade in our workshop, in France, in Aix-en-Provence, which promotes the local economy and reduces our carbon footprint.
- Small series : We favor production in small quantities to guarantee impeccable quality and limit unnecessary surplus.
- Traditional know-how : Each stage of manufacturing – from preparing the wax to putting it in pots – is carried out by hand with care to offer you unique products.
- Wooden lids from a sustainable family farm : Our Ardèche pine wood lids come from a family forestry operation, managed sustainably for generations. This wood is then processed in an ESAT (Établissement et Service d'Aide par le Travail), a structure that offers people with disabilities a professional activity and medical-social and educational support. This approach reflects our desire to promote both sustainability and social inclusion.
3. Eco-responsible and minimalist packaging
- Recyclable materials : Our containers are made of recyclable or reusable glass and our packaging is made from kraft paper, cardboard and recycled PET.
- Waste Reduction : We have eliminated all unnecessary packaging to limit our impact on the environment.
- Reuse : Once your candle is consumed, the container can be transformed into a pencil holder, flower pot, vase, etc.
4. A strong ecological and social commitment
- Zero waste approach : We are constantly working to minimize waste in our production process.
- Ethical sourcing : We select suppliers who share our values, respecting both environmental and social standards.
- Collaboration with ESATs : Our partnership with an ESAT for the manufacture of our wooden lids is concrete proof of our commitment to social inclusion and the promotion of the work of people with disabilities.
- Awareness : We want to educate our customers on the importance of consuming better, by sharing our responsible practices and advice for a more ecological daily life.
