Merry Christmas and happy holidays! As joyful as the season is, it comes with a massive waste problem, especially from non-recyclable Christmas wrapping paper.
The Hidden Environmental Cost of Gift Wrap
Every December, millions of households unknowingly send vast amounts of wrapping paper straight to landfill. In the U.S. alone, 2.3 million pounds of wrapping paper are thrown away each year, much of it during Christmas.
Holiday can push landfill volumes up by 35%, mainly due to non-recyclable gif bags, ribbons, and laminated paper. Glitter, metallic film, and plastic coatings also make most wrapping paper impossible to recycle, contaminating entire recycling batches. A product used for seconds ends up polluting for years.
