Let’s make this year our most eco-friendly, sustainable Christmas season yet and opt for eco-friendly decorations, trees and gifts options where possible. Just looking at the news recently, we are all aware of just how important it is to make every effort we can to be more sustainable – and for many of us that starts at home. 

At Jordan we believe that taking steps towards a more sustainable way of life is a responsibility we all share, so here are some of our tips for a more sustainable festive season; 

Rent a Christmas tree

Looking for the most eco-friendly Christmas tree option? Real Christmas trees are much more sustainable than artificial alternatives. In fact, one study concluded you’d have to use your fake fir for 20 years for it to be greener. That said, seven million real trees will be dumped in January rather than recycled. This year you could go one further when it comes to an eco-friendly Christmas tree by renting a real tree from an Irish company like Pines & Co. 

Wrap gifts with recycled paper or fabric

Many rolls of wrapping paper contain non-recyclable elements like foil, glitter or plastic. 

There’s a lot of free paper out there, so why spend money on buying gift wrap that’s hard to recycle? You can get creative and turn your old stash of magazines or newspapers into gift wrappers.

Reduce your food waste

Most of us are pretty good at getting creative with our leftovers throughout the year, but when Christmas comes, we can be a little more wasteful. Reduce your shopping list down to what you’ll actually need – it will prevent food waste and save you money!

Choose certified ‘green’, recycled plastic or plastic-free gifts

The Green Clean Collection from Jordan Oral Care taking care of the planet by ensuring all material used in production is carefully selected with the environment in mind – nothing is left to chance.  The handle is made from 100% recycled and FDA-approved plastic. The source of this material is food containers such as yoghurt cups, making it safe for use in your mouth

With Jordan Green Clean, we have saved more than 60 tons of PP plastic, which is equivalent to around 115 tons of CO2* = 16 million plastic forks

Opt for LED or solar-powered lights

Want to reduce your electricity bills and help the environment at the same time? Christmas fairy lights add to our electricity bills, so swap them for LED or solar-powered ones.
