Best Tealights
Having used both brands last winter, I found that these burn much better than Price's,
NOT sustainable: made of paraffin, a fossil fuel
I don't know why these are entitled 'Sustainable Tealights'. The packaging says they're up to 75% paraffin. Paraffin is highly unsustainable as it is derived from crude oil, a fossil fuel. This is greenwashing on the part of Ocado, as the word sustainable is not used on the packaging or the manufacturer's website. Just because something has 25% plant based wax from Europe and no palm oil or animal fat, it's not OK. You need to look at what it actually does contain, which Ocado have omitted from their description. The candles burn OK, and being taller than other tea lights burn for longer: there is less wax wastage. They're probably a little less lopsided than some, but the flame is also a bit smaller. If they didn't have paraffin in them I'd buy them again. But they do. If you care about sustainability, don't buy.
