HOW TO NAIL THE FESTIVE SEASON WHILST STILL CARING FOR THE PLANET

Caring for the planet doesn’t mean you can’t nail the festive season!

You can still be Eco-conscious and enjoy the festive season. Discover TOTM’s simple Eco swaps you can make to have a sustainable Christmas (without compromising on the fun).

Wrapping paper

A lot of people don’t realise that wrapping paper can’t be recycled. Most wrapping paper is covered in glitter, has a plastic coating and added inks which mean it’s not accepted for recycling. It was previously reported that we throw away approximately 108 million rolls of wrapping paper at Christmas. All of this comes at a cost to the environment, as it ends up in landfill.

The good news is, this doesn’t have to stop Christmas being a season of giving! There are Eco-friendly alternatives you can use whilst still making your presents look pretty. Some ideas of alternatives you can use are leftover newspaper, old maps and scraps of material or wallpaper you have around the house.

You can also buy recyclable wrapping paper and tags online! Wondering whether your wrapping paper is recyclable? You can check by tearing off a piece and scrunching it up. If it scrunches up together it is recyclable!
