Make This Autumn Green: 12 Eco-Friendly Ideas for Halloween & Guy Fawkes Night

Autumn is a season full of celebrations—Halloween, Guy Fawkes Night, and cosy gatherings. But it's also a time when waste can pile up, from disposable decorations to bonfire night trash. This year, why not make it different? Embrace the season in a more sustainable way with these 12 eco-friendly hacks using Eco Green Living products. From Halloween trick-or-treat solutions to bonfire party clean-ups, we’ve got you covered for a green autumn that's as fun as it is kind to the planet.

 

1. 140L Compostable Bin Bags for Leaf Clean-Up & Bonfire Debris

Autumn means falling leaves—but don’t let those colourful piles go to waste! Use our compostable bin bags to collect leaves and turn them into garden compost. It’s a great way to keep your garden healthy while keeping waste out of the landfill. Plus, compostable bags are perfect for gathering leftover firework debris after Guy Fawkes Night, breaking down naturally for an easy and eco-conscious clean-up.

 

2. Recycled Tin Foil for Autumn Baking & BBQs

Baking is an autumn essential—from pumpkin cookies to caramel apples, or even a classic Guy Fawkes jacket potato roasted in the fire. Use our recycled tin foil to keep it green! Not only is it perfect for lining baking trays, but it can also be shaped into cookie moulds for Halloween ghosts or wrapped around potatoes for a bonfire BBQ. Once the cooking is done, simply recycle it again—sweet treats and hearty meals with zero guilt!

 

3. Compostable Cling Film for Treat Storage 

Planning a Halloween party? Use our compostable cling film to keep your homemade treats fresh for guests. Wrap up caramel popcorn, spooky cupcakes, or even sliced apples to ensure they’re ready when the little monsters arrive. With our cling film, you’ll be minimising plastic waste and keeping your spooky snacks as eco-friendly as possible.

 

4. Compostable Ziplock Bags for Trick-or-Treat Goodie Bags

Replace traditional plastic bags with compostable ziplock bags to create eco-friendly treat bags. Whether you’re storing the sweets for trick-or-treaters or making goodie bags for a party, these bags are convenient, sturdy, and won’t harm the planet.

 

5. Compostable Food and Freezer Bags for Seasonal Prep

Don’t let any part of your pumpkin go to waste! Use our compostable food bags to store leftover pumpkin flesh or seeds. Roasting pumpkin seeds is a great family activity, and with our eco-friendly bags, you’ll be keeping those seeds fresh while avoiding harmful plastics. You can also use these bags to prepare and store chilli for a Guy Fawkes Night gathering—simply freeze ahead for an easy, waste-free meal during the autumn festivities.

 

6. Reusable Bamboo Kitchen Towels for Pumpkin Carving 

Pumpkin carving can get messy, but cleaning up doesn’t have to be wasteful. Our reusable bamboo kitchen towels are perfect for wiping up the pumpkin guts and juice. They’re durable, absorbent, and can be washed and reused all season long, making them the ultimate eco-friendly tool for your Halloween preparations.

Got a little messy while crafting the perfect DIY costume? No problem. Our biodegradable laundry sheets will help you get face paint, glitter, and other Halloween fun out of clothes without leaving behind harsh chemicals or plastic waste. Your costume stays vibrant, and the planet stays clean.

 

8. Nature Walk & Bonfire Treasure Bags with Compostable Food Bags

Autumn is the perfect time for nature walks. Take along our compostable food bags to collect pinecones, acorns, and colourful leaves. Use these natural treasures to make beautiful, seasonal home decorations—or gather kindling for your Guy Fawkes bonfire. Once you’re done, the bags can go straight into your compost bin.

 

9. DIY Halloween Decorations with Recycled Tin Foil

Feeling crafty? Make your own spooky decorations with our recycled tin foil! Mold it into ghosts, witches, bats, or even small skeletons. It’s a fun and creative way to avoid plastic decorations, and when Halloween is over, the foil can go right back into the recycling.

Hosting a seasonal dinner party? Swap disposable napkins for our reusable bamboo kitchen towels.
