Unwrap It, Then Plant It: 100% Plantable Wrapping Paper

Posted on by

Every year, trash cans all around the world overflow with discarded gift wrap and packaging on Christmas morning. Some people take the time to unwrap their presents carefully on Christmas eve so the paper can be recycled, but the majority don’t have the patience (or simply don’t care enough) to do so. That’s where the plantable wrapping paper by Eden’s Paper comes in.

Plantable Wrapping Paper This unusual wrapping paper sports colorful designs that reflect what type of seeds are embedded in the paper itself. That means the entire paper is a giant seed packet that you can use to plant in your garden. How cool is that?

Naturally, it follows that the giftwrap is biodegradable, offering more eco-friendly options for its disposal.
