Marks and Spencer customers have been left divided as the retail chain opted to remove plastic from its Christmas wrapping paper. The business confirmed that for the second year running no plastic will be used for its greeting cards, gift bags or wrapping paper, Birmingham Live reports.
A spokesperson for M&S said: "We've had fantastic feedback from customers and have carried out testing to make sure the labels on our wrapping paper rolls are easy to remove and do not cause damage." But some customers have been left unimpressed by the decision.
One reviewer wrote: "Bought this wrapping paper with 5 peel me stickers which were very hard to remove and kept tearing and damaging the wrapping paper, this was to be a quick job now still trying to remove stickers. Wrapping paper design is lovely but first 20cm of paper will have to be cut off."
