According to the team at Planet Wrap It:

Consumers in the UK use 227,000 miles of Gift Wrap - most of this cannot be recycled. 

DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) estimates that at least 50,000 trees are cut down each year in the UK to produce wrapping paper and gift bags!

 It is estimated that 40 Million Rolls of sticky tape are used. Most of this will go straight to landfill. 

They have been working since 2020 to provide a more sustainable and ethical alternative with their recycled and recyclable wrapping paper and products.
