Every year in the UK hundreds of thousands of tonnes of waste from packaging gets thrown away, as well as about 227,000 miles of wrapping paper. But Christmas shopping doesn’t have to induce eco-anxiety – these nature-friendly packaging options will make sure that you are treading lightly with all the proceeds directly helping the nature that you love.
Plastic-free and forest-friendly Christmas cards
These Christmas cards feature beautiful designs as well as eco-friendly credentials – they are fully recyclable and don’t have any foil or glitter (a microplastic that can end up in oceans and ingested by fish, as well as making the product unrecyclable). They’re even wrapped in plasticfree, home-compostable wrappers or recyclable boxes! https://shopping.rspb.org.uk/charity-christmas-cards/
Recyclable wrapping paper
All three of our lovely wrapping paper options are made from recycled sustainably sourced paper. This also means that the wrapping paper itself can be recycled! And another little cherry on top – it’s printed with water-based inks that reduce the toxins released into our environment. 2 x 5m - £7 metres. https:// shopping.rspb.org.uk/christmas-gift-wrap/ No-guilt crackers
With the RSPB crackers you get eco-friendly presents – a trivia game, chocolate robin, a collectable RSPB bird pin badge, or build-your own wooden decorations! The crackers themselves, as well as their packaging, are all plastic-free and made from recycled, sustainably sourced paper. They also come with a lovely decorative ribbon that can be repurposed with your own wrapping. £15 for a box of six, £27 for two boxes of six. https://shopping.rspb.org.uk/christmas-crackers/
Sustainable Christmas tree decorations
These decorations will add distinction to any tree and are made with eco-friendly materials such as wool felt, ceramic, or sustainably sourced wood. https://shopping. rspb.org.uk/christmas-tree-decorations/
