Start-upThe Challenge
Our focus lies in addressing two critical societal issues: glass recycling inefficiency and domestic violence. Inefficient glass recycling contributes to environmental degradation, while domestic violence inflicts harm on individuals and families. Glass is the least recycled material being heavy and therefore costly to recycle. Domestic abuse is an issue as 1 in 3 women are physically and/or sexually abused by their intimate partner throughout their lives. By tackling both, we aim to promote environmental sustainability and foster safer communities.
The solution
Our solution to these issues is to upcycle wine bottles (glass recycling) into scented candles. To tackle domestic violence we made it our mission to provide a spark of hope for female abuse survivors by supporting them in both a financial and psychological way.
Mission
Empower female victims of domestic abuse to find a safe and better life for themselves and loved ones.
