Our Environmentally Friendly Packaging: Biodegradable Options!

Our Environmentally Friendly Packaging: Biodegradable Options!

At The Recycled Paper Company, we’re not just passionate about the paper and card we produce — we’re passionate about how we deliver it, too. Our 100% recycled paper and card are made right here in the UK, and we’re proud of their quality, durability, and environmental benefit. But we know that sustainability shouldn’t stop at the product. That’s why we’ve put just as much thought into how we package and ship our goods.

We strive to eliminate plastic from our packaging wherever possible. In most cases, your order will arrive entirely plastic-free. On rare occasions, you may find your items wrapped in a biodegradable film. Why? Because the unpredictable British weather and the wear and tear of courier services can sometimes pose a risk to unprotected paper. Our biodegradable film offers an eco-conscious solution — giving your products the protection they need without compromising our environmental values.

We do our best to reuse cardboard boxes and other packaging materials we have to hand. Giving these items a second life helps reduce waste and is a simple but effective way to minimise our carbon footprint.

For secure and stylish packaging, we also use:

  1. Recycled greyboard card envelopes, ideal for keeping our paper and card products flat and undamaged during transit.
  2. Recycled brown Kraft paper, which adds an extra protective layer without adding to landfill.
  3. Gummed brown paper tape — plastic-free and fully recyclable, it’s the final touch that keeps everything sealed safely.

This means that every part of your delivery — from the wrapping to the tape — is recyclable or compostable. You can dispose of it responsibly, knowing that it won’t harm the planet.

Our goal is simple: to deliver beautiful recycled paper in packaging that lives up to the same eco-conscious standards. Thank you for supporting sustainable stationery that doesn’t cost the Earth.
