It's been one hell of a year, but one thing we can say about 2020 is that it's the year of sustainability. ā™»ļø šŸŽ

Being aware of how much plastic you use during the festive season is FUNDAMENTAL, as the amount of single-use and extra waste can soon add up. We're talking everything from food waste to decorations and presents. SO why not give back this Christmas, and buy your loved ones the best recyclable gifts?

Help them kit out their kitchen with recyclable goods, give beautiful trinkets or even buy them books on how they can take on some DIY projects.

Whatever you choose to put in their stocking this year, make sure that itā€™s eco-friendly.

Are you looking for inspiration? Weā€™ve pulled together a list of the best recyclable gifts.
