The staggering amount of waste generated by wrapping paper, gift bags, tags, tissues, ribbons and bows is an inspiration for ellaWrap. Most gift wrap waste is not reused or recycled. In fact, packaging materials make up almost one-third of the waste generated in the U.S. The solution is to be creative, reuse and recycle materials you have, and only purchase reusable gift bags and envelopes. For earth friendly, beautifully wrapped gifts, present them in ellaWraps.
Green gift wrap is hard to find. Options made from recycled paper are still disposable, and other reusable gift bags lack the variety and elegance of ellaWraps. By reusing a large ellaWrap ten times you can save over four rolls of premium wrapping paper ---and all that disposable paper and ribbon would have cost about twice as much as one chic ellaWrap.
With every gift giving occasion comes another chance to pass on memories with an ellaWrap green gift wrap. Inside every one is a gift journal where you can record your names and the occasion. An ellaWrap’s history travels with it, making gifting an ellaWrap part of your personal history.
If every family wrapped just three holiday presents in reused gift bags, envelopes and materials, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields. (Greening Your Holidays, Cygnus Group via MIT The Monthly Bale, Vol 1, No. 4, December 2004).
