Conventional tinsel is generally made with plastic that is not easily recyclable. When it gets tattered and torn, it’s mostly off to the bin and landfill.

But there are more eco thoughtful alternatives available, and one which jumps out for its sheer good looks, as well as eco-credentials, is Ecotinsel. It’s made from 100% recycled (and recyclable) paper.

Hand made in Wales, UK, the garlands are available in a large range of colours - both single and two-tone. Each garland is 180cm long, and thickly fluffy thanks to dense weaving of 8 cm wide strips of paper.

We are big supporters of made-to-order items here at FKQ, so it is nice to know that Ecotinsel is exactly that.

That also means that they can custom make orders of particular colours.

Ecotinsel is plastic-free, PVC-free and a charming solution to the plastic wastage of conventional Christmas decorations.
