Why Organic Rapeseed Wax is the Sustainable Choice

At keara Candles, we place great importance on sustainability and quality. That’s why we use only organic rapeseed wax sourced from European farms. But why is rapeseed wax a better choice compared to soy wax?

Rapeseed is predominantly grown in Europe. This means shorter transport routes and a significantly lower CO₂ footprint. Our organic rapeseed wax comes from a supplier in Germany, ensuring regional sourcing and transparency.

In contrast, over 80% of the world’s soybeans are produced in the USA, Brazil, and Argentina – often involving deforestation of rainforests and savannas to make way for monocultures. Only around 7% of the EU’s demand is met with soy grown in Europe.

Another major advantage of rapeseed wax is that it is free from genetic modification. While soy in North and South America is often genetically modified, rapeseed cultivation in Europe is subject to strict regulations. So, you can be sure that our wax meets the highest environmental and quality standards.

Additionally, growing rapeseed supports crop rotation and promotes biodiversity, whereas soy monocultures often have negative impacts on soil and ecosystems. Rapeseed also plays a vital role for insect diversity, as it provides nectar and pollen for wild bees and native insects.

When it comes to burning performance, rapeseed wax is also impressive. It burns slowly and evenly, extending the lifespan of your candles. At the same time, the included fragrances are released fully, creating a unique aromatic experience in your home.

By choosing candles made from organic rapeseed wax, you’re making a conscious decision that benefits the environment and supports sustainable agriculture in Europe.
keara Candles stands for quality, regionality, and responsibility – for a brighter future and a beautiful light in your home.
