Christmas in New Zealand is all about summer holidays, escaping to the caravan, tent or bach and enjoying lazy days with the family. This year, instead of baking the traditional Christmas gingerbread house, why not create your own Kiwiana version to share with your family and on your social media? GLAD is encouraging you to create your own original gingerbread house, using their new Glad to be Green^® Food Care range.

Recently GLAD launched a range of Glad to be Green^® products, the GLAD wrap & reseal products contain a minimum of 50% plant-based plastic produced from a renewable source of sugar cane.

The Glad to be Green^® Compostable Brown Bake Paper is compostable, sustainably sourced, unbleached and chlorine free, making it home compostable* after use. If you are someone who is working to make small, sustainable changes in your home, this will help to divert waste away from landfill.

All of the NEW products have the trusted strength and quality of GLAD and will keep food fresh and protected, diverting food waste from landfill. The Glad to be Green^® packaging is also made from a minimum 70% recycled paper and is 100% recyclable.

The super versatile Compostable Brown Bake Paper is heat resistant up to 240°C, making it ideal for ovens, fry pans, microwaves, sandwich makers and even BBQ hotplates. It removes the need for extra fats or oils when cooking, making meals healthier and easier to prepare and speeds up cleaning time by a significant amount.

We all know that baking paper is a key component in making a successful gingerbread house – cooking the gingerbread walls and roof to perfection, without sticking. To make yourgingerbread house unique this year, try shaping it into the classic Kiwi bach, caravan, or tent – decorating it with icing, candy canes, lollies, or freeze-dried fruit for a slightly healthier option and don’t forget to share your creations on Instagram. #makechristmasgreen
