Environmental Details
We know how difficult it can be to tell how much of an impact what you are buying has on the environment, and what effect switching to a more sustainable product has, so we have found out and compiled all of this information for you below.
The Toastabags Reusable Silicone Piping Bag Set replaces single use piping bags that are made from plastic.
The Toastabags Reusable Silicone Piping Bag is made in China from 100% food grade silicone, and the nozzles are made from plastic.
Piping bags are versatile tools, and are the only way to get perfect icing and frosting. The only problem is that they are almost always made from single use plastic, which can't even be recycled due to how messy they get inside. A Reusable Piping Bag on the other hand can be used over and over again, eliminating the waste from your baking.
The Piping Bag Set is packaged in a recyclable cardboard box. The nozzles are currently packaged in a single use plastic bag, however we are working with Toastabags to remove this in the future.
The Reusable Piping Set is designed to last, and with the right care, should see you through many years of baking. If you do need to dispose of it, silicone is fully recyclable. Check with your local authority if they have any recycling facilities for silicone, or check out a recycling scheme such as TerraCycle. The nozzles can be recycled at your local household recycling centre.
