EP17 - Creating a Circular Business Model with Swap & Go Candles

Welcome to Episode 17!

Show Notes here: https://sustainable-ecom.com/ep17

Today I’m joined by the dynamic duo of Hayley Clarke and Karen Platt.   Together they are serial sustainable brand entrepreneurs having started up female Fashion Label One P Designs and more recently the CandleXchange. 

We spend a little time chatting about One P, but the reason I asked them to come on the show is that they are right now (and at the risk of throwing in a non-sustainable metaphor) at the coal face of developing a circular business model based around swap & go Candles.

There is no doubt that recycling has its issues and so figuring out the reverse logistics to enable a circular business model is a potentially critical strategy for sustainability as well as being a very smart move for encouraging returning customers. 

I hope you find this as fascinating discussion as I did!
