Brits will use an average of 10-and-a-half metres of wrapping paper this Christmas – but less than half (44 per cent) 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 per cent) 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 per cent) keeping doing their bit for the planet at the forefront of their mind over the festive season.
