Soy wax was originally developed as a sustainable solution for candle lovers. It is clean-burning, made from vegetable oil, and when grown in an environmentally sound manner, it is a great candle choice.
The problem with soy is that much of the time it is not grown sustainably. In South America, where a great deal of soy is grown, farmers will burn the rain forest to clear more land for cattle and soy. Soy itself is not the problem, but it needs to be ethically grown if it is going to be part of a candle that is sound for the environment.
Palm oil is another clean burning wax that should be sustainable but isn't. Palm oil is worse, however, because it is much more difficult to source sustainable palm wax than it is to source sustainable soy. Soy is grown all over the world. We know that if it was grown in the Midwest, for example, no rain forests were cut down for that field of soy. If it's certified organic, you know no fossil fuels were sprayed on the fields to fertilize or kill insects.
With palm oil, however, there is no way to know if it was grown sustainably or not. Even if palm oil claims to be sustainable through certification programs such as the RSPO , they may not be sustainable after all. An investigation by The Economist discovered that the RSPO has very little control over what its members do, and very few of those members are certified.
This makes palm oil a disastrous choice for the environment, even if it claims to be sustainable. Beeswax is made from melting down honeycombs made by honey bees. They are completely sustainable and natural and are a great choice for candles. Supporting bee agriculture also helps the environment indirectly by encouraging the growth of bee populations we need to pollinate flowers both for food crops and in the wild.
Beeswax isn't ideal for all candles since they don't scent well and have a low melting point, but as far as the environment goes, they are a great choice.
