Creating a sustainable future at Torc Candles
Sustainability at Torc
Sustainability is a big part of what we do at Torc. We make all our products at our factory in Co. Carlow, Ireland and we are proud to carry the guaranteed Irish logo. We are constantly sourcing new blends to ensure we are ahead of the curve
in sustainable and natural innovations. All of our ingredients are natural, food-grade, wax and we use 100% cotton wicks.
For a Sustainable Future
As part of the Torc sustainability initiative, we took a look at our processes and how we could reduce waste and the use of plastic. As of 2022, we have reduced the amount of plastic used in Torc by 40%. To do this, we have greatly reduced the use of plastic wrapping, changed our labels from plastic to paper.
Another way we are tackling sustainability in Torc is by ensuring all vehicles are electric. All boxes the company uses are recyclable and reusable. We are currently working on a sustainable collection that we are excited to showcase next year. We are constantly improving our sustainability and hope to reduce our plastic use even more in the coming years.
