With Christmas just around the corner (a mere 4 days away!), it has probably crossed your mind that wrapping presents is not the eco-friendliest practice. That’s why we’d like to share a couple of ways you can eco-ify your wrapping technique this holiday season. The first is presented by London-based design recruitment agency, Represent [5], who shares with us twenty different tape-free ways to wrap your gifts, through their project Future Present.
From Future Present, by Mike Radcliffe
In their project, Future Present, Represent [5] challenged the design community to develop innovative and eco-friendly solutions to the wasteful behavior that is often encouraged by wrapping a Christmas gift. Twenty of the most sustainable and totally tape-free ideas were selected and are currently appearing daily on the Represent [5] website and in the studio’s ‘advent’ window throughout the month.
So now that you have bought all your eco chic gifts, what will you use to wrap them this year?
