We all know those feelings of excitement and anticipation that we get when someone gives us a gift that’s all dressed up in shiny, glitzy paper and a bright bow with curly ribbon. But what you may not know is that all of that metallic and glittery wrapping paper contains plastic or aluminum so it can’t be recycled with paper products and goes straight to the landfill. Even wrapping paper that may seem recyclable is often dyed or printed with oil-based inks which contain chemicals that are harmful to the environment. And beyond the wrapping paper, many of the decorative frills we use also end up as landfill waste because they are made of plastic (looking at you curly ribbon and bows).
At That’s Wrapped, our mission is to continue the tradition of creating thoughtful, beautifully wrapped gifts, but using more eco-friendly frills and wrapping paper made 100% in the U.S.A. We pay attention to the gift wrapping details that make a difference for you, your gift recipient and the earth so you don’t have to! We are launching with seed paper bows that when planted, grow into wildflowers, and recyclable gift tags with festive seed paper shapes. And coming soon… recyclable wrapping paper designed and printed with eco-friendly inks and paper ribbon! Check out our Storefront on Etsy to start shopping now ThatsWrapped – Etsy.
