Challenge #6: Eco-Friendly Wrapping and Packaging
The season of giving is often a season of unnecessary waste. We challenge you to find more earth-friendly ways to wrap and ship your packages this year!
Consider going "old school" with your wrapping choices:
Dishtowels make fantastic gift wraps! Not only do they hide the gift, but they’ll be put to good use long after the gift is opened.
Newspaper (especially the comic section) is a great alternative to traditional wrapping paper. Add some color with rubber stamps to make black-and-white sections festive!
To-go bags from takeout can easily be repurposed as unique holiday gift bags.
Eco-friendly packing materials: When shipping packages, consider paper-based packing tape instead of plastic, which isn’t recyclable. Paper-padded envelopes are another sustainable choice over plastic options.
We hope these ideas inspire you to wrap your gifts creatively this year while reducing waste and saving trees.
