Envelope reuse stickers (that help support animal charities)
Every year, countless envelopes are thrown away after being opened, even though many are still perfectly usable. Reusing envelopes is a simple way to reduce waste, save resources and give everyday stationery a second life. But what if envelope reuse could also help support animal charities?
Rather than buy new envelopes in plastic packaging, invest in a set of envelope reuse labels. These are simply slapped on existing envelopes, to reuse them. They are particularly good for business, as it looks more professional than just scribbling over old addresses.
If sending greetings cards, don’t send ‘plantable’ ones to homes with pets, as many grow into toxic wildflowers).
Where to buy envelope reuse stickers
You can buy envelope reuse labels that promote great causes, and use profits to help hedgehog rescue and humane research (finding cures for disease without animals).
You can tear off old stamps (leave a small margin) and pop in an A5 envelope (with broken jewellery and old coins) and send off to raise cash for favourite charities. Order a free sack for large collections.
Small actions can make a difference!
Sustainability doesn’t always require dramatic changes. Reusing an envelope is a tiny action, but repeated across households, workplaces, charities and businesses, small actions can add up.
By encouraging people to reuse envelopes rather than automatically throwing them away, we can help reduce unnecessary waste while creating opportunities to support animal charities.
So next time you open a letter, don’t immediately discard the envelope. Take a second look. Could it make another journey?
Reuse your envelopes, reduce waste and help give animals a brighter future.
