Yes, I am still on the green thing!
Is there "green" gift wrap? Of course, One manufacturer's line in particular called Natural Age can be purchased in reams and the price is competitive to its "not so green" gift wrap siblings. Natural Age gift wrap has a variety of natural colors and is made from 100% recycled kraft paper. If a solid color paper isn't what you are looking for then add an embossing to the wrap and living it up. The embossing shouldn't cost you anymore then $10.00.
Another manufacturer prides themselves on the fact they converted their rotogravure ink systems to 100% water based. This change in their printing process reduced emissions, eliminated solvent and ink waste, and created a better environment. They did this before water based inks were widely used or developed. Their paper comes from mill that support environmental initiatives from local to global programs and that are involved with WWF (World Wildlife Fund), SFI (Sustainable Forest Initiative), FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), and are concerned with responsible forestry and recycling. And all of their gift wrap papers are recyclable. Their facilities have all been constructed or updated bringing brought about energy savings, efficiency in operations, and better outdoors environment.
I am sure their are other gift wrap companies bettering their business by producing what everyone is looking for - and that is green products and a safer enviroment. You have to think they live in this world, they make a living creating wonderful gift wraps for us to use in gift giving and they want to continue both so why wouldn't they produce "green" giftwrapping.

I had the opportunity to tour a giftwrap manufacturer's facilities yesterday. It was very interesting. So much goes into keeping the world of gift giving wrapped so beautifully and Sullivan Paper Company in West Springfield, MA does it with get organizational precision. I was amazed! Their facilities were clean well organized that I now understand the way in which they provide outstanding service to my customers. They offer more services to the retail market then I ever knew. So yesterday was a learning experience that I was happy to be a part of. Thank you Richard and Ed Sullivan, Mark Chapman and the many others involved.
