Camelias Candles is dedicated to recycling unwanted wax and candle materials, transforming them into beautiful new products. We offer a candle exchange program that not only provides customers with fresh candles but also helps keep candle wax out of landfills. Our mission extends beyond recycling; we empower local artists and artisans by providing affordable retail spaces and business skills training, fostering a supportive community inspired by creativity and sustainability.
We work closely with community programs to educate on recycling practices, ensuring that each piece of wax we process contributes positively to the local economy and the environment. By repurposing this valuable material, we actively participate in Oregon's Materials Management End-of-Life Management goals, reducing waste, and promoting a circular economy where creativity thrives.
