What is the most environmentally friendly wrapping paper?

As a general rule, wrapping paper can only be recycled if it passes the 'scrunch test'. To do this, take a piece of the wrapping paper and scrunch it into a ball in your hand.  If the paper stays in a ball and doesn't bounce back into shape, then it's likely you can recycle it.

In general, paper wrap can be recycled but any wrapping paper with foil or glitter on cannot and needs to go in the general waste bin. Before recycling, make sure you remove any sticky tape and decorations such as ribbons and bows because these can't be recycled either.

To make choosing environmentally-friendly Christmas wrapping paper easier than ever, certain retailers have removed all glitter from their Christmas wrapping products. One of the first supermarkets to do this was Marks & Spencer in 2019 and this year Tesco have also announced that they too are removing glitter from their own-brand Christmas wrapping, gift bags, cards and crackers.

In addition to removing glitter from their Christmas wrapping paper, this year Waitrose has also eliminated single-use plastic that can't be recycled, giving shoppers the option to have an environmentally friendly Christmas this season.
