Brits will use an average of 10-and-a-half metres of wrapping paper this Christmas – but less than half (44%) regularly stop to consider whether their gift wrapping is recyclable, a study has found.
One in five Brits admit they typically use their wrapping paper as fuel for the bonfire, while three in ten (31%) tend to just chuck it all in a black bin bag.
But a poll of 2,000 adults, who celebrate the season, found that half of Brits want to be more sustainable this Christmas – with two-thirds (67%) keeping doing their bit for the planet at the forefront of their mind over the festive season.
