In Germany, more than 7 billion tea lights with aluminum bowls are sold every year!
The production of aluminum is extremely energy-intensive and produces significant CO2 emissions. What's more, even the rainforest is being cleared for this!
The problem with aluminum: The raw material bauxite is an ore that is mined in open-cast mines in countries such as Brazil, Australia, India and Jamaica. A sodium hydroxide solution separates the aluminum components from the bauxite.
The resulting so-called red mud consists of toxic chemicals that destroy the environment.
But that's not all, this aluminum is then simply thrown away after use. Many users do not know that this aluminum waste should be properly disposed of as scrap metal. This adds time-consuming recycling.
With our “sparkling” idea, we want to make a contribution to the environment and reduce the CO₂ footprint of every user.
The burning system, developed and manufactured in Germany, is based on the separation of wick and wax.
The flame of the non-combustible wick gently melts the paraffin balls and thus nourishes the wick.
Premium wax made in Germany for the best combustion. We only use fully refined Premium paraffin without chemical additives. Completly non toxic if accidentally swallowed.
History of this Idea:
The path to the candle system with an external wick began in 1973 with the development of an incombustible mineral fiber wick whose capillary system allows melted wax to rise vertically for combustion.
The wick that is used for our candlesticks today was first manufactured in 1995 and subjected to extensive testing procedures. Only after all series of tests had been successfully completed did this wick, which has now been registered for a patent, begin to become a product.
