Pour a candle on International Day of Peace 2024
Register to participate in a 15-minute candle pouring session on Thursday 19th September
International Day of Peace, observed annually on September 21, is dedicated to promoting peace and non-violence worldwide. Established by the United Nations in 1981, the day encourages individuals, communities, and nations to work toward ending conflict and fostering harmony.
Each year, a specific theme is chosen, highlighting global peace-building efforts and advocating for solutions to reduce violence, promote tolerance, and create a more inclusive and sustainable world. By promoting peace, we also advocate for the responsible stewardship of natural resources, ensuring a balanced, just, and sustainable future for generations to come.
Sustainability is a core value at International Towers, and we are excited to announce the return of CandleXchange for another candle-pouring workshop, marking a special occasion dedicated to sustainability.
When: 8am - 10am Thursday 19th September 2024
Where: Tower Three South Lobby, International Towers

What's happening during the day
- Hands-On Candle Pouring, 8am to 10:15am
Each participant will have 15 minutes to pour their candle. Your homemade candle will take a few hours to set, we'll hold onto it until it's ready and you can collect it after 4pm on the same day. - Hands-On Candle Pouring, 10:15am - until supplies last.
Walk-ins will be accepted during this time, but make sure to arrive early so you don’t miss out. Your homemade candle will also take a few hours to set, and you can collect it after 4:00 pm. - Donate Your Old Candle Containers:
Bring your burnt-out candle containers to the CandleXchange display in the lobby. Our partners will refill them and donate nearly-new candles to women’s refuge shelters. Read more about this here. - Visit Our CandleXchange Pop-Up Stalls in Tower Three Lobby

More about CandleXchange
CandleXchange was born in early 2021 with the aim of reducing the waste generated by 4 million single-use candles sold in Australia every year. The CandleXchange model enables customers to exchange their used candle container for a new candle at a reduced cost, approximately 40% cheaper than buying a new one. CandleXchange delivers environmental benefits by reusing the containers to make more candles, using natural ingredients to create an even, clean, and safe burn as well as with reusable or biodegradable packaging.
