Did you know that around 40 million disposable crackers are used and binned each year? And most not only scare pets and babies with their loud bangs, but also contain glitter and other ingredients that can’t be recycled, mostly sold in plastic packaging. They are also wasteful and expensive. Disposable crackers also scare pets and babies with their loud bangs (for reusable crackers, just pull and say ‘Bang!’ yourself, like Tom and Barbara off The Good Life!

Reusable Christmas crackers are far better than disposable crackers, which also often contain small toys that are choking hazards on busy Christmas lunch tables. Refuse collectors often refuse to take them all the next week. So if you’re not making your own, just use these instead.
These reusable eco crackers are supplied with a pet-friendly (no bangs!) ecosnap®. Use to dress your festive vegan table, or to wrap gifts. The crackers arrive flat-packed and ready to pop into shape, to fill with zero waste gifts. They pull and don’t tear. To reuse, just replace the snaps. Full instructions are printed on the inside of the wallet. Replacement Ecosnaps are sold in packs of 12, just add to your order. The ribbons use yarns made from used plastic bottles (keep away from pets and children).
