Sustainability & Impact
Inspiring the joy candles bring to everyday life, while caring for the planet and supporting those in need!
Every Purscents gift card bought through Ecoswap supports a brand that takes its environmental impact seriously. Purscents knows its actions affect the planet, so it's committed to making choices that are right for its customers, its team, and the environment.
In 2024, Purscents calculated its carbon footprint for the first time; its total emissions for the year were 9,825.7 kgCO2.
How much is 9,825.7 kgCO2 exactly? It is equivalent to:
A few things we’re currently doing:
THOUGHTFUL INGREDIENTS
Purscents is passionate about creating luxurious, nature-inspired scents, but doing it responsibly matters most. That's why its candles are made with rapeseed and coconut wax, its reed diffusers use vegetable glycerin from renewable sources, and it only uses 100% essential oils and plant extracts for scents.
While soy is popular in candle making, they have chosen not to use it, as it often has a high carbon footprint, risks pesticide residues, and contributes to deforestation and displacement of communities without proper safeguards.

REDUCING CANDLE JAR WASTE
With over 35 million candle jars ending up in landfill each year, reusing just 1% of them (around 350,000 jars) would make a real difference. This brand offers pre-scented refills in 100% compostable packaging, designed to work with any suitable jar, so a Purscents gift card can go towards a refill as easily as a new candle.
LOWER-EMISSION PROCESSES
They use 100% renewable electricity matched with power from the sun and wind. Components sourced from Asia are repackaged locally to save space before they're shipped by sea or road, and the brand aims to optimise box sizes and reuse paper void fill materials from supplier deliveries.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Purscents partners with two charities, The Felix Project and Environment360, to support their work.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR PURSCENTS?
From 2025, Purscents is taking steps towards Net Zero, with enhanced emissions tracking, waste reduction, a priority on UK-based suppliers, year-on-year emission cuts, and, from 2027, offsetting what remains through certified carbon removal projects. Buy a Purscents gift card through Ecoswap's gift card range, and it can be redeemed for any of the candles, reed diffusers and refills described above, or swapped for another sustainable brand if scents aren't the right fit.
Enhanced Data Collection
We’re improving systems to track emissions and aim to work closely with our suppliers to understand the sustainability of key ingredients, where possible.
Waste Reduction
Our goal is to minimise waste by improving our manufacturing processes and recycling wherever we can.
Prioritising Local Suppliers
We will prioritise UK-based suppliers to reduce transport emissions, except when sourcing locally is not possible.
Cutting carbon emission year on year
Every year, we’ll work hard to cut our emissions, and from 2027, we’ll offset what remains by investing in certified carbon removal projects.
Inspiring our Team
We believe change starts from within. That’s why we’re equipping and inspiring our employees with training, workshops, and support to make a difference.
Join Us on This Journey
We know sustainability is a journey, not a quick fix. While we’re proud of the progress we’ve made, we’re committed to doing even more. Every small step we take brings us closer to creating a positive impact.
FAQs
A Purscents gift card bought through Ecoswap covers the full range: candles, reed diffusers and the brand's compostable refill pouches. It's sent by email, so it's ready to forward on straight away.
Yes, it expires 12 months after purchase, giving a reasonable window to use it without feeling rushed. That's enough time to decide how to spend it, whether on a candle, a diffuser or one of the brand's refill pouches.
That's fine. The same Ecoswap gift card can be swapped for any other brand on the platform instead of being redeemed at Purscents, so the recipient isn't locked into scented candles if it's not their thing.
