Furthermore, most of gift cover paper is made of the paper covered by non-degradable materials such as wax, plastic or metal. The only method to handle these used imperishable materials after holiday is to bury it, which is unfriendly to the environment.

The good way to show the friendship with environment is avoid over packing, especially not to choose no degradable wrapping paper. It will be a good idea to warp gifts with dated newspaper. The gifts for children covered with colorful cartoon pages may attract more attention.
