Cute and Pretty Recycled Gift Wrap

It’s All Eco offers lovely recycled gift wraps, sent in plastic-free packaging. Choose from Flowers and bees or Pink floral.

Although FSC-certified paper gift wrap is better, it still involves growing fast-growing plantations of monoculture trees, often with pesticides. These (unlike old-growth trees) don’t provide homes, shelter and food for native wildlife, and don’t absorb carbon dioxide, to help prevent climate change and floods.

Using post-consumer recycled materials instead helps to close the loop, and is also more creative. Eco gift wrap also avoids glitter, which usually can’t be recycled and contains microplastics.

Use with recycled paper gift tags.

For other brands, avoid sending plantable gift wrap (and cards) to homes with pets, as most wildflowers are unsafe near animal friends.
