How can you sustainably do away with the mountains of Christmas cards?
, most cards along with their envelopes can be recycled either in your regular household recycling bins, at local recycling points such as household waste recycling centres or at collection banks, such as the ones found in supermarket or local council carparks.
The Christmas cards that cannot be recycled are the ones that have extra embellishments such as ribbons or glitter. While you can try to remove ribbons from a card in order to recycle it, cards that feature glitter in the design will not be able to be recycled and should not be put in your recycling bin with other cards and paper wrapping.
If you have been given Christmas cards this year that feature glitter and cannot be recycled, don’t throw them away. Instead, try upcycling them! First, cut the card in half down the crease so that the back of the card can be recycled along with other paper and card as normal. Then, save the front of the card featuring the design to use at Christmas next year.Those who enjoy a good Christmas craft can use the card next year to create upcycled Christmas cards,
