THE Co-op has launched plastic-free Christmas wrapping paper as part of a sustainable Christmas range.
It also features crackers, cards and accessories which are 100% recyclable, as well as all ribbons being changed to a cellulose-based plastic-free material.
Further to this, bag handles and cracker contents have been changed to paper or a more sustainable option.
The supermarket has also developed new packaging for its Irresistible Chocolate range, which have had all plastic packaging removed and now feature a cardboard tray.
Simon Robinson, product developer at Co-op, said, “Last year we made great strides to reduce our use of plastic in our Christmas range, and this year we have gone above and beyond, with plans to launch the most sustainable gifting range in 2022.
“We’re looking forward to a Christmas that will hopefully be a little more normal and the gift of giving will be back in full swing.”
