Bamboo straws are eco-friendly alternatives to plastic packaging. They are used with any kind of drink and beverages at your Halloween party. They are made from pure bamboo stalks without any kind of re-compression or processed. One of the best advantages of bamboo straws is that they are washable and reusable. Use warm water and a pipe cleaner to wash them. Customize them according to your party theme and have fun.     

4. Foil-wrapped Treat:

Foils are recyclable and sometimes they come with a waxed paper liner inside them. Foils are a great way to solve plastic packaging problems instantly. Halloween trick-or-treaters can use them for their extravaganza treats. Some of the popular foil-wrapped sweets are Halloween-themed eyeballs and Hershey's kisses.      

5. Halloween Fruits:

You might wonder, how fruits can be used for Halloween? Well! You must have listened to or watched the story of snow white where the witch gives her the “Poisoned Apple”. Yes, you have triggered exactly what I am trying to imply. Similarly, you can get inspiration for your Halloween party from this morbid description. Utilize your crafting skills and use fruits to keep the essence of the eerie party alive. Make orange witches with the help of a black construction paper, put a hat onto the orange, and make facial features with cloves, chocolate chips, paper bits, or marker. Similarly, you can stack poisoned apples (fake ones obviously) to give a spooky feel.

The list is comprehensive, but it fairly proves that hand out plastic-free treats can be possible. Make your own happiness! Buy loose candies and pack them in small paper bags, foils, or boxes. Fork out some real money these days by selling high-end chocolate in compostable packaging.
