Sustainability
Recycled newspaper print is a sustainable option because it reduces waste, conserves resources, and minimizes environmental impact. By repurposing used newspapers, the need for new wood pulp is reduced, helping to prevent deforestation and protect ecosystems. Recycling paper uses significantly less water and energy compared to producing new paper, lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
Additionally, it diverts paper waste from landfills, reducing methane emissions caused by decomposition. The process also minimizes the use of harmful chemicals, resulting in less pollution.

About Wrappily
Burdened with guilt and belief that a better solution existed, I founded Wrappily in 2013 to answer a global need for a smarter, more sustainable gift wrap. Not to mention, my house was being overrun with gently used paper, ribbons, and gift bags just waiting for their moment to shine (again). I just couldn’t take anymore!
Wrappily is an example of what happens when you start to connect the dots in life. I grew up in the printing industry (thanks, Dad) and my affinity for old fashion printing presses continued to grow during a decade spent working in the publishing industry.
Wrappily is headquartered on Maui, my home teeming with talented and generously supportive people willing to help make an idea a reality.
What are people saying about Double-sided Eco Wrapping Paper - Holiday?
How to use
Lay the newspaper flat and place your gift in the center. Fold the paper snugly around the gift, ensuring clean edges, and secure it with eco-friendly tape or reusable string, like twine or ribbon. To add flair, consider decorating with natural accents like dried flowers, sprigs of greenery, or personalized tags made from recycled cardboard. Recycled newspaper wrapping is not only budget-friendly but also helps reduce waste by giving paper a second life, making it a thoughtful and sustainable choice for any occasion.
To ensure a longer life flatten the wrapping paper sheets and stack them neatly. Store them in a folder, envelope, or box to protect from dust and damage. Alternatively, roll them around a cardboard tube. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture to prevent discoloration and maintain their quality for reuse.
