Our Commitment to Sustainability at Hangar South

At Hangar South, sustainability is at the heart of our mission as artisans. We understand that the choices we make today impact the world we live in tomorrow, and we are dedicated to ensuring that our products and practices reflect our commitment to the environment. Here’s an overview of the sustainable initiatives we have implemented and how we are continually evolving in our craft.

1. Sourcing Natural and Sustainable Ingredients

Our journey begins with the careful selection of ingredients. We prioritize sourcing natural and organic materials for our perfumes and candles. By working with suppliers who adhere to sustainable practices, we ensure that our essential oils and waxes are free from synthetic chemicals and additives. This not only enhances the quality of our products but also supports environmentally friendly farming practices.

2. Handcrafted Artistry

Every product at Hangar South is made by hand in our atelier located at 4695 Berri Street, Montreal. This artisanal approach reduces the need for industrial-scale production, which can lead to significant waste and pollution. By handcrafting our perfumes and candles, we maintain high standards of quality while minimizing our environmental impact.

3. Recycling Candle Containers

One of our key sustainability initiatives is our commitment to recycling candle containers. We encourage our customers to return their used candle jars to our atelier. By reusing these containers, we can significantly reduce waste and conserve resources that would otherwise be used to produce new jars. Each returned jar is carefully cleaned and prepared for refilling, allowing us to maintain a circular economy within our production cycle.

4. Incentive Program for Returns

To further promote our sustainability efforts, we are excited to announce an incentive program for customers who return their perfume bottles and candle jars. For every container returned to our atelier, customers will receive a $5 rebate. This program is designed to encourage responsible consumption and recycling, fostering a community of environmentally conscious individuals. This rebate is only applicable physically at our atelier in Montreal, allowing us to interact directly with our customers and share our sustainability journey.

5. Eco-Friendly Packaging

In addition to our products, we are committed to using eco-friendly packaging materials. Our packaging is designed to be minimalistic and recyclable, reducing unnecessary waste. We use biodegradable materials whenever possible and ensure that our labels are printed on recycled paper with plant-based inks. This attention to detail extends the sustainability of our products beyond just the ingredients.

6. Community Engagement and Education

At Hangar South, we believe in the power of community. We actively engage with our customers to share our sustainability practices and educate them on the importance of eco-friendly choices. Through workshops, social media, and in-person interactions at our atelier, we aim to inspire others to embrace sustainable living and consider the environmental impact of their purchases.

7. Continuous Improvement and Innovation

As artisans, we are committed to evolving our practices to become more sustainable. We regularly assess our production methods and seek innovative solutions that minimize our environmental footprint. This includes researching new materials, refining our processes, and exploring opportunities to collaborate with other eco-conscious businesses.

Conclusion

Sustainability is not just a trend; it is an integral part of who we are at Hangar South. From sourcing natural ingredients to recycling containers and engaging with our community, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment.
