Big Dipper Wax Works Sustainable Candles



Cool candles from Big Dipper Wax Works.  Designs are molded in-house from 100% pure beeswax and can be bought online for between $8 (£5) for a bird to $30 (£18) for the genius instant camera.  Due to the delicate nature of the process, there is always risk of minor imperfections, so slight seconds are available for up to 75% off the original price; a clever way for the company to reduce waste and profit loss. 

Beeswax has the sustainable and environmentally friendly benefits of a longer burn time than other waxes, being non-drip and smokeless, and unlike parrafin candles, has a  clean non-toxic burn which purifies the air. 

Other green businesses would do well to copy the Big Dipper's business model; unique design and meticulous attention to detail comes first, coupled with the feel-good sustainability aspect, sharp packaging, and reasonable price points which eco-conscious consumers have now come to expect. 

Instant Camera Candle - $30 (£18) 

Transistor Radio Candle - $17.50 (£10.50) 


Sculpted Sphere Candles $19.50 (£12)
