Zero Waste Tips
Find ingredients where you can from your local zero waste refill shop.
Look for oil or butter in glass or paper packaging that can be recycled or reused.
If using cupcake cases look to use compostable FSC non-bleached options that are safe to compost after use. Alternatively use a reusable cupcake tray and mould.
