There is so much extra paper waste created around the holidays; it’s time to reduce it by sharing plantable Christmas cards that benefit the Earth and grow flowers!
It’s easy to overdo it at Christmas time. We overspend, overeat, and end up wasting more than we do any other time of the year.
In fact, our waste increases by around 30% at Christmas time!
We are all aware of just how important it is to make every effort we can to be more sustainable. Small changes can make all the difference in reducing our environmental footprint, especially over Christmas, when the potential for waste, overconsumption and mass shopping is high.
Christmas doesn’t need to be a burden on our planet. Even when we’re in need of an extra-large dose of festive cheer this year, we can celebrate the holidays in a way that’s less harmful to the environment. With a little effort and imagination, we can do good and feel good about our actions.
So how can we help reduce waste?
We use greeting cards for almost any occasion, and they are often wrapped or, even worse, made in plastic! As a result, we leave behind a significant amount of greeting card waste.
But with our cards that are produced sustainably and ethically right here in Australia, there is a way to send holiday greetings without costing the planet.
Paper and Bloom plantable seeded cards are a zero-waste way to make someone smile in this season of giving! Here’s how our Plantable Christmas Cards are different from traditional holiday cards:
1. They are Eco-friendly
Many, if not all, traditional greeting cards end up in landfill after they’re used. Paper and Bloom tries its best to support and practice sustainability in all aspects of its business – from recycled products to plastic-free and biodegradable packaging. Our paper is collected from local organizations, businesses and schools. We love giving it a second life with our 100% recycled greeting cards. By purchasing our products and planting them after, you can guiltlessly enjoy getting rid of these cards after use.
2. They are locally made with love
Made in Australia with the lightest possible planetary footprint.
We print everything ourselves, cut and fold every card (almost) one by one.
So much love goes into every single card!
3. They are hidden flowers in a card
Each sheet of our plantable paper is embedded with a multitude of seeds, randomly distributed, creating a fascinating uniqueness for every card!
When the seed paper card is planted, the paper will compost away to leave only flowers.
4. They have various Unique Designs
Paper and Bloom offers a range of designs that are bold and unique. We can also help customize plantable Christmas greeting cards to suit your business needs.
5. They serve multiple purposes
Our plantable cards are a Christmas Card and a Gift at the same time! Once Christmas is over, the seed paper card can be soaked in water and popped in soil, and it will begin to grow into beautiful flowers in just a couple of weeks!
6. By purchasing from us, you support a small business
