Our festive wish: No plastic please

The reason our range has become more environmentally friendly this year follows feedback from Co-op Members across the UK.  

We now know that sustainability and recycling is an important issue for our own members in the Channel Islands too. The products you see in our seasonal aisles matter. 

So, we’re proud that we’ve made some positive changes to our own brand Christmas range this year. 

Spot the difference?

There are small changes to our 2021 Christmas range, but we hope that you will notice the difference we have made to be more sustainable. 

All our Co-op Christmas cards and wrapping paper are now recyclable. You might also notice that our wrapping paper and gift accessories pack now no longer come wrapped in plastic cellophane. Another way we’ve removed unnecessary plastic. 

We’ve also removed plastic and glitter from all our own brand cards, gift wrap, gift bags and crackers too. 

So often, Christmas crackers are made with materials that cannot be commonly recycled and are full of plastic toys and packaging. Our Christmas crackers are consciously made to be plastic-free meaning that the whole cracker is 100% recyclable.

No rubbish in our crackers. Well, except maybe the jokes. 

Check out our sustainable Christmas range in your local Co-operative today and have yourself a greener Christmas too.
