Why Choose Eco-Friendly Wrapping Paper?

Collectively, individual choices make a huge difference. Every year an estimated 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper is used in the U.S., most of which ends up in landfills. Traditional wrapping paper is difficult to recycle due to glossy coatings, glitter, and foils that wreak havoc on recycling machinery and make accessing the recyclable portion extremely difficult. This wrapping paper is 100% recyclable and backyard compostable.

 

Better Material

This paper is made of 100% compostable and recyclable newsprint & soy-based inks. This wrapping paper is also certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).

What’s great about newsprint? Recyclable up to seven times, newsprint is an answer to the millions of tons of trash generated by wrapping paper every year. It has the highest recovery rate of any recyclable material with over 73% of all newspapers in the United States being recovered and recycled.

 

Better Packaging

This earth-conscious wrapping paper comes in a folded sheet, eliminating the waste of an inner cardboard tube. It instead arrives packaged and protected in a plastic-free, plant-based PLA sleeve that is commercially compostable and certified biodegradable.

 

Shortening Supply Chains with USA-Made Wrapping Paper

Traditional wrapping paper is generally printed overseas and travels thousands of miles by land, sea, and air to reach your home. This long-reaching supply chain contributes significantly to global emissions by burning fossil fuels and polluting our air and waterways. In contrast, this wrapping paper is milled, printed, and packaged in Washington State.

 

End of Life

Once you’ve used (and maybe even reused) this wrapping paper, feel free to add it to your backyard compost pile or a community compost bin. It can also be recycled with your regular newspapers.

 

About the Brand: Wrappily

Wrappily Eco Gift Wrap Co. is a small, woman-owned business offering a new take on wrapping paper. Founder Sara Smith was burdened over what to do with leftover discarded wrapping paper once the festivities were over. She envisioned wrapping paper that was printed at the local newspaper press so that it was made locally and easy to recycle. Once she had the vision for it,  she couldn’t NOT make it happen. And we’re so happy she did!  Wrappily now offers fantastic patterns of eco-friendly wrapping paper and gift-wrapping products thoughtfully made in the United States. Wrappily is also printed on neighborhood newspaper presses, which helps this existing industry find new applications. Your purchase also supports independent artists, illustrators, and textile designers who create Wrappily wrapping paper designs.
