Mala
Recycling
Program

mala's recycling program is back!

our mission from the beginning has always been to create candles that are kind to the earth, while continuously working to lessen our impact on the environment where possible.

we know that once a candle tin is used up, it’s often left in the corner or discarded. with your help, we’d love to re-use and upcycle your used candle tin here at mala.

how does it work?

depending on the condition of the tin, these vessels will either be repurposed into a new candle or used behind the scenes as a photoshoot or tester candle.

clean your used candle tins as best as you can - following the tutorials here: freezer method or hot water method. also, please make sure all the labels are removed as well.

step 3

keep an 👀 out on your inbox for store credit!

return 10 tins (all at once) to receive store credit for a 8 oz candle ($38 value). please note, there’s currently no reward if you return 9 or less tins.

FAQ

can I return less than 10 tins?

definitely! however, at this time we are not offering any store credit if you return less than 10 tins. we may change this in the future! 

what if I’m not near any of the drop off spots?

let us know what store or city you have in mind and we’ll work on it! you can also drop off or ship to our warehouse in richmond, bc. email us at hello@malathebrand.com for more details. 

what if my tin has scratches on them? 

a small scratch or tiny dent is acceptable; larger dents that would deform the shape of the tin/candle inside are not. tins with cracks or holes will not be accepted. please make sure the tin is return with its original lid with no black soot.
