A little about the process

Where the oil comes from

Restaurants & home kitchens

We collect from cafés and restaurants (higher volumes make it worthwhile), plus friends and family. Every year, 500,000 tonnes of used cooking oil in Malaysia gets discharged without proper treatment, clogging pipes and polluting waterways. We give it somewhere better to go.

Why candles

A second life for old oil

Rather than being poured away or downgraded into low-value waste, the oil is processed and set into scented, slow-burning candles: a small way to keep it out of the drain and out of landfill.

Do it yourself

Our DIY kits

Keep your own used cooking oil out of the drain. Our kits let you turn it into a candle at home, so the habit doesn't stop with us.
