Christmas recycling, reuse and reduce ideas

Please see below for short videos and downloadable instructions for some great tips on how to reduce waste by reusing and recycling over Christmas.

Quick tips:

Save wrapping paper to reuse next year – reducing your waste.

Use and reuse string instead of using Sellotape to wrap presents – this’ll make it easier to reuse the paper and to reduce waste.

Use old Christmas cards to make gift tags for next year by cutting off the backs of the cards and reusing the fronts.

Before you buy a present, take a moment to think — does your friend or family member really need another physical gift, or would an experience mean more? A meal, a show, a shared day out can last longer than any box and it’ll help to save waste!
