Eco-friendly packaging
There are many reasons that a person may decide to “go vegan,” though one of the more popular reasons is for the sake of the environment. Veganism greatly lessens a person’s carbon footprint, so it may seem like a shame to undermine all that effort by opting for a plastic-based gift wrap.
Of course, concerns about waste plastics, carbon footprints and sustainability aren’t exclusive concerns of the vegan community. People the world over, from all walks of life, are looking at ways they can change their habits to better take care of our planet.
Luckily, there are many stationers now actively pursuing more sustainable practices and products. One of the best and most widely known is Paperchase. This year, they have an entire section of their website dedicated to eco-friendly gift wrap and packaging. The Kraft Gift Wrap range is made entirely of recycled materials and itself can be recycled. This, combined with a step away from new plastics, glitters and harsh inks makes the range a great choice of sustainable packaging.
You can view the full range, including options with tonnes of colour, right here, or check below for some of our favourite low-key options.
