Our top tips on packaging series continues with helpful hints on reusing your tissue and paper packaging.
3 reasons to reuse your tissue paper and paper packaging
1) As pressure on the environment and the need for the nation to economise grows, it’s now critical to conserve and reuse packaging.
2) Reusing packaging is the best form of recycling, because it doesn’t require further use of energy, either in converting or transporting the packaging prior to use. It simply extends the life of your paper packaging.
3) Thinking ahead to how your customer receives their parcel or gift, reducing unnecessary packaging and making it easy for the customer to reuse their tissue paper, or other paper packaging, could have a positive impact on your environmental credentials
“As a specialist packaging supplies company we believe we have a duty to encourage Customers to give greater thought to the packaging they buy and make better use of the packaging materials they retain.”
How to reuse your tissue and other paper gift packaging
- Initially, avoid contact with self adhesive tape where possible, as this will tear the tissue paper
- Ideally wrap or fold tissue paper around the item and place within a cardboard box without sticking the tissue paper together. Elastic bands, string or ribbon can be used instead of adhesive packaging tape to encourage reuse of paper packaging
- When unpacking items wrapped in tissue paper, try to avoid ripping the paper and flatten sheets where possible
- Like wrapping paper and other forms of gift packaging, tissue paper can be reused if it is in good condition
- If the tissue paper has become creased or ripped, you could scrunch it up loosely to fill voids and provide cushioning protection within boxes
- Alternatively, tissue paper and other gift wrap can be shredded to make attractive gift packaging and paper loose fill
Once your tissue paper or other paper gift packaging is no longer usable, it can be recycled along with other waste paper.
Alternatively, you may wish to pass on used, clean paper packaging to schools for art projects. Many schools and nurseries might buy cheap tissue paper online or direct from UK packaging suppliers, and if you can pass your packaging on it might save your local school money and also help to conserve energy and natural resources.
