Morrisons has removed plastic packaging from its Christmas gift wrap and accessory ranges in an effort to become more sustainable.
As a result, more than 3.1 tonnes of plastic shrink wrap will be removed from the retailer's wrapping paper alone. This is in addition to the removal of glitter and plastic from paper wrap, crackers and cards in previous years, which has reduced plastic in its range by over 150 tonnes over the past three years.
This year, Morrisons has taken away plastic film and plastic shrink wrap from its festive wrapping paper and gifting accessories such as gift tags and bags. Gift bags will comprise of recyclable paper, replacing their plastic ribbon handles with a paper twist or paper braid alternative.
