Reusable Wrapping Paper

Have you ever imagined how much wrapping paper gets used for just one day and then tossed in the trash? Most of the time, typical wrapping paper is non-recyclable since it contains plastics, dyes, glitter, or pieces of tape. That’s why this “furoshiki” wrapping style is the perfect minimalist option for converting to a zero-waste lifestyle and caring more about the planet. Or go with a simple fabric wrap or even a reusable gift bag. Plus! It looks way nicer anyway.

Zero Waste Advent Calendar

Another pointless way to create a lot of trash. Your advent calendar can be an inspiration to other families as they awe at your reusable linen bags that are not only eco-friendly but stylish too!

Reusable Napkins

Still using paper napkins? Well, there’s another place you can step up your zero waste game! One-use paper napkins are so out and reusable linen napkins are in! So grab some chic Christmas ones and make a statement.

Zero Waste Clean Up

Cleaning up after your dinner party shouldn’t create more waste. Update your cleaning supplies by switching to unpaper towels that can be washed and reused and an unsponge that you don’t just toss after a few uses.
