“Sustainability is a key part of a company acting responsibly and we take it very seriously,” explains Kelly Courtenay Card Connection’s Creative Director, “That’s why our products are covered by a number of different initiatives.”
“Firstly, to minimise our impact on the environment we only use responsibly sourced boards and paper. There is still a lot of confusion amongst consumers as to what can be recycled, we’ve added recycling advice to all of our cards.”
“Glitter particles stuck onto Christmas cards, whilst being festive, can also hinder their recycling, so all of our 2022 Christmas ranges are glitter-free.”
“It’s true of some types of gift wrap that are printed on a plastic film, or on paper that uses shiny foils and sparkly glitters, but we use none of these things,” continues Kelly.
“Also, the increase in soft plastic recycling points means even the shrink wrap film that protects our rollwrap is no longer the issue it used to be, making ALL our giftwrap recyclable.”
“We don’t want families across the nation to lose out on the enjoyment of sending and receiving Christmas cards, or to miss out on the simple pleasure of opening their brightly wrapped gifts,” concludes Kelly, “So you can buy our products safe in the knowledge that we’re doing our part towards sustainability and in doing so make sure you can enjoy more of a worry-free Christmas.”
