Baking is therapeutic for many of us. The process of organising all your ingredients, measuring and adding them carefully, whipping up the batter and pouring it into a container has a pleasing rhythm and flow to it. Sharing the efforts of baking with our loved ones is almost as fulfilling as the process itself. Baking brings joy to the baker and the gourmand equally.
However, when we look at the technical side of baking, we come across several parameters.
Are your ingredients safe and ethically sourced? How much waste are you generating behind every cookie, muffin, or cake? How far are your ingredients and the baked products travelling? Is the cost of baking rising every year?
How Does Baking Impact The Environment?
In 2023, it is important that home-bakers and professional bakers alike take into consideration the impact of their baking choices. One of the main non-edible ingredients of baking is the baking mould. Baking moulds can be single-use like paper liners or they can be reusable items made up of tin or aluminium. While reusable moulds may seem better instinctively, they’re not. The problem with the latter is that these tins rust quickly which can harm your baked products. Moreover, because they have to be washed before every use, using these tins creates a lot of grey water. It is also a hassle for bakers, especially when it comes to baking small cupcakes.
Your batter takes the shape and form of the baking liner. More importantly, it contains the batter and gives it time for a delightful transformation. However, since baking liners are single-use items, they generate quite a lot of waste.
But what if your baking liners were plastic-free and eco-friendly? What if after relishing in your moist flavourful cupcake, your customer was not throwing away a piece of harmful material, but a piece of biodegradable paper? Now imagine that thousands of such cupcakes were baked in eco-friendly liners every day? When you choose eco-friendly baking liners, you are choosing a better future for everyone.
