Review of White chocolate (with Pure Vanilla Bean) - lovingearth by c0dy
#recyclable, #palmoilfree, #compostable
Very silky and creamy, but not quite as sweet as I’d hoped. It tastes okay but I’ve definitely had better vegan white chocolate.
The outer cardboard is recyclable kerbside but inner bioplastic wrapping is only home-compostable, not accepted for industrial compost. I don’t have a compost at home yet so I usually just throw out the wrapping. I hate sending it to landfill but at least it won’t release micro-plastics. I appreciate the efforts to have sustainable packaging but unfortunately bioplastic is difficult to dispose of because the current system isn’t set up for it.
