It is possible...
As with all things zero waste, it is best to be prepared to avoid the waste that holidays tend to bring.
Leaving your Easter egg buying to the last minute and rushing to the nearest supermarket will most likely result in buying plastic wrapped, palm oil containing holiday treats for family and friends.
There are options to buy better Easter eggs and other treats instead!
Also, remember to recycle all the foil you collect from Easter eggs this Easter! Make sure you roll it into a ball about the size of a tennis ball or your palm so that it can be recycled.
If you end up with soft plastic packaging, RedCycle it at your nearest Coles.
This very helpful website below details how to avoid palm oil, buy Fairtrade, buy vegan, find zero packaging Easter eggs, make your own, choose low waste activities and more:
