CLAIRE’S CUPCAKES POLICIES & INFORMATION
ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
We believe in producing high quality products that are good for your body, the animals, and the environment. We are very conscious about the environment and that’s why we strive to use as many reusable or recycled products as possible in the kitchen and when packaging all of our treats.
Our packaging consists of cardboard boxes with no plastic coating and 100% recycled plastic display windows, TrueCello bags made from corn, or other plastic free, recyclable/compostable bags and packaging.
We also try to reduce our waste in the kitchen, opting for bulk products in recyclable packaging, by using reusable piping bags, and by feeding friends and family any off cuts or spare treats to reduce/eliminate our food waste.
