Reduce the huge amount of Christmas wrapping paper waste, and make your own DIY wrapping paper this year.

So much paper is wasted at Christmas each year as it’s eagerly torn off and put straight into the bin – recycling if we’re lucky. And remember anything with glitter, foil or with sellotape on it can't be recycled.

Reduce the waste this year by creating your own DIY wrapping paper using recycled or scrap paper.

Save newsprint throughout December to reuse and wrap your gifts or buy a roll recycled parcel paper and print it yourself.
