Mojo Candle Co.

Comprising diffusers and soy wax candles, Mojo Candle Co. collects wine and beer bottles from local pubs and wineries and transforms them into the best luxurious eco-friendly gifts for any occasion! The diffusers made from reclaimed beer bottles are hand-poured in small batches with premium-quality reed diffuser oil and premium-grade fragrance oils. And the candles are individually cut from reclaimed wine and beer bottles and hand-poured in the Southern Highlands with 100% soy wax.

So what are the benefits of soy wax? In contrast to traditional paraffin wax made from petroleum, coal, or oil shale, soy wax is natural derived from Soybeans that grow easily. There is cleaner burning and less likely to trigger allergies –no nasties in the air! Also, since soybeans are a vegetable, soy wax is naturally biodegradable. Moreover, soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax. Therefore, soy wax not only burns cooler and will last longer than paraffin candles, but a stronger aroma is also present due to a larger pool around the wick. So there you go, you can enjoy these delicious scents for a loooong time!

Champ Co

Melbourne-based Champ Co. creates jewellery and household products using recycled airplane tires and recycled rubber offcuts. With a background in architecture design, designer Lauren Steller creations take on architectural shapes, texture, colour, and depth.

And using all the offcuts of the table placemats or trivets, the designer crafts some very distinctive jewellery pieces such as bangles and earrings that are quirky and modern. In case you end up sleeping wearing them or place them right at the bottom of your loaded bag. You can always fix the little bend by laying them on a flat surface in the sun for a half-hour or so, and they will come back good!

 

Paper go Round

Greeting cards made using recycled paper? Yes, that’s not so rare. But making cards using recycled paper and filled with seeds? Now that’s rare!

Handmade in Australia from recycled office paper and printer and papermill offcuts, Paper-Go-Round uses quality seeds from Aussie farms to create one-of-a-kind seeded paper. Around 100kg of recycled paper is used to make the seeded paper. The sustainable brand handmakes paper using old techniques to ensure the planet has a future.

All you need to do is plant the paper under 3mm of soil and water well and watch them grow!

A great addition to corporate gifts, seeded paper can also add a significant impact to a promotion or provide delightful charm to a corporate invitation or announcement. Works great for mailings, handouts, and any promotions with its personal touch! Works great for businesses to send out for birthdays, seasonal campaigns, or appointment reminders. Amongst the clutter of flyers and brochures, this unique plantable paper remains memorable!!

One Happy Leaf

If you are looking for cute eco-friendly gifts for her, you have landed on the right sustainable and ethical jewellery brand! One Happy Leaf’s planet-friendly accessories laser-cut from honey brown bamboo wood cares for the environment! A tree is planted on your behalf for every purchase, making the world greener. 

Why bamboo is the best choice for eco-friendly jewellery?

Fast-growing and requiring little water to survive, bamboo is an excellent alternative to precious metals and gemstones. Unlike mining, the biodiversity of the area where the bamboo is grown does not get affected by production. There are no living pests - hence no pesticides or fertilisers. Moreover, since bamboo is actually grass (and not wood), it will grow back, time and time again!

Also, please note that no big bears are going hungry because the species of bamboo the brand uses is Phyllostachys pubescens, Moso Bamboo, which is not panda food!
