Sustainable Home Scents

#1 Skandinavisk

A favourite if you follow any Scandi interior accounts, Skandinavisk are the home scents brand that creates candles and diffusers to set the scene in your home. Inspired by over 20 years of travelling across the Nordic region their scents are subtle and refined blended with local rich wood. Skandinavisk are also B Corp certified which means they meet the highest standards of social and environmental impact. Last year they reinvented their entire range and changed materials on all their products to reduce their carbon footprint.   

#2 AERY

AERY create quality fragrances that can help elevate our well-being through the power of aromatherapy. Inspired by the multi-sensory aspect of fragranced products that help your well-being. With the added bonus that they are 100% plant-based wax and carrier oils with no paraffin or palm. They are also vegan and cruelty-free and as an eco-conscious brand, all the candles, diffusers, candle holders and paper are plastic-free and recyclable.

Sustainable Cooking & Dining

#1 Denby

Another of our most ethical brands is Denby which is the only UK company to produce its own clay for products made in the factory. A leading stoneware and pottery manufacturer for the past 200 years, Denby is rife with history. Any scraps of clay are recycled and crushed into a powder which is then pumped back into the production process. Denby is also a zero-to-landfill business, with the only materials sent out of the factory being used for roadwork improvements in the local area.
