Wrap Smarter on 227,000 Miles of Waste!

Did you know the amount of wrapping paper used annually could stretch all the way from Earth to the Moon? That's over 227,000 miles!

With such a staggering volume, it’s no surprise that much of it isn't recycled properly—especially the estimated 114,000 tonnes of plastic-coated wrap thrown away in the UK each Christmas. (If you're unsure about what's recyclable, try our simple “scrunch test” mentioned in our previous blog!)

But you can change this by getting creative and adopting three simple habits:

• 1. Use Only What You Need: Ditch the wasteful rolls. Look around your home or office for existing paper to give your gift a unique, sustainable edge.

• 2. Personalize & Express Yourself: Create truly original wrap! Whether you try potato printing or utilize your home/office printer for branded paper, your recipients will instantly know it's from you.

• 3. Create Sentimental Value: Hand-crafted, unique wrapping paper is a gift in itself—they won't want to throw it away! Delight your recipient before they even open the present.
