It is an invention made in Portugal, a machine that allows convert vegetable used oil and turn it into candles.

The Oon Candlemaker came to the market to revolutionize the way we look at the waste from our kitchen. This is a machine that re-used cooking oil, common in any Portuguese cuisine, and turns it into candles with delicious scents. An innovation designed and made reality by Mario Silva, who is already a bestseller in our country, so that the Pestana Group of hotels, already uses this device to take advantage of all the burnt oil produced in their kitchens. Having thus a double gain, have a way to used a compound with no additional costs and  create candles for decoration of their own resorts.
The concept of Oon  is simple, the premise was: How to reuse waste oil without polluting? A recurring problem for any of us with environmental concerns. And although the answer may seem obvious, yet the materialization of the idea took some time and many studies. The final product is a machine that is 100% recyclable, all its components are made from recycled plastic. The candles have a zero impact of carbon into the atmosphere. And there are various colors available depending on the customers taste. And despite the high cost of Oon, about 300 euros, have regard to the financial capacity of the Portuguese, according to the head of brand communication, Carlos Carvalho "The cost of Oon Candlemaker is justified since it is a global innovation, made with materials sustainable and in a responsible manner. We are not available to exploit anyone or to produce products that create problems to solve others. This means, for example, to produce with a high percentage of recycled plastics truly (the highest possible with the technology to date),  obtaining  components in Europe, without much energy or environmental costs of transport, and fewer still explore our partners and suppliers . I alert to the fact  that our production does not create toxic waste or hazardous to the environment or to public health. "
The company also offers a set: Accessory allowing quickly creating candles with various scents, eliminating thus any kind of odor and waste that arise from the oil. However, the price is once more a factor to take into consideration, which is higher than a paraffin candle, about this observation the developer of Oon, states that "the candle is made with vegetable CANDLEPODS at that last 4 times longer than paraffin candles, have a cleaner burning and prevent water contamination. These features are unique and will not find in the candle market with the same characteristics. If we compare only the unit cost of candles oon (1.9 €) with other candles saving is significant: the oon candles cost is  at least 3 times higher, whereas paraffin candles have an equivalent cost but have a duration of burning 4 times lower, so in reality, they are more expensive. " However, he adds "Nevertheless, I can assure that we work hard and as quickly as possible to provide the lowest possible prices, without ever putting  into question the quality of the product or the justice of the value chain."
