With so many Easter eggs to chose from its a bit of a mindfield to decide which one your daughter/son or relation will enjoy the most. Then you want to decide which one is best for the planet in a more recylable package as most come in large packaging.
If you choose eggs that come in easy-to-recycle cardboard boxes without plastic in them then these will be great for recycling.
Look for fair-trade eggs like Tony’s Chocolonely Easter Eggs Assortment, which are foil wrapped in an egg box.

Each pack comes with two 18g packets of our Fairtrade Salted Caramel popcorn too – just in case you need more to munch on!
