“…reduce carbon monoxide output by half by having people keep their old fireplaces but switching from wood to CleanFlame logs that are made out of chopped up wax covered cardboard.”

“CleanFlame, based in Oroville, CA, constructs eco-friendly fire logs without harmful petroleum-based wax. They consider themselves part of the green movement, and are also proud to be helping our local economy by creating jobs.”

“The business is Wax-Box Fire Log Corp., which manufactures a product called CleanFlame Firelogs out of recycled waxed cardboard boxes. Chief Executive Officer Kory Hamman said the logs burn cleaner and are environmentally friendly.

“After the boxes are emptied by customers, he takes them to CleanFlame in Oroville, a facility that recycles waxed boxes into fireplace logs. He takes the logs and sells them back to businesses, which benefits Miller, the buyer and the landfills where the boxes would have rotted had they been thrown away.”
