Plastic Free Bake Sale

5 top-tips for a plastic free bake sale:

Avoid wrapping anything in plastic.
Sounds obvious, but try and use grease proof paper or reusable Tupperware instead of cling film.
Bring cutlery.
Some like to get stuck in with their hands. But for those preferring to use cutlery, either provide your own metal cutlery (and a bucket to collect is once used) or encourage people to bring their own cutlery.
Avoid plastic decorations.
Plastic table cloths, plastic bunting, balloons. These all add up to single use plastic. Try and use natural decorations instead: sprigs of plants or flowers, re-used jam jars for cash collection, paper posters (not laminated).
Only sell home-baked goods.
Shop bought cakes and snack-sized treats come with a lot of additional plastic wrapping. Try and seek out home-baked goods only.
Use re-usable bags.
To make the cakes, you’ve got to get the shopping first, right? Make sure to take your reusable bags with you when shopping to avoid using single-use plastic bags.
Try a vegan recipe.
Ok. You caught us. We snuck in an extra non-plastic-related tip. Vegan cakes are arguably just as tasty as non-vegan ones, and using vegan ingredients is more environmentally friendly. Who knows, you may discover your new favorite recipe!
