Pack it a bit greener this Christmas.

So you’ve shopped London Drugs for some fair trade, organic and local goodies for your family, and what the heck; maybe some fun techno gadgets as well. (Life’s a balance, after all) Now you’re looking for a greener choice to protect your treasures until they arrive at their appointed hearth.
One option is to pack them in a Hilroy Biodegradable Bubble Envelope. On the paper side, it’s made of FSC-certified 60% recycled fiber that contains 50% post-consumer waste material. Inside, the oh-so-fun-to-pop bubblewrap is made from oxo-biodegradable plastic, which is designed to break down after its usable lifespan. (It will begin to degrade in as little as 24 months, according to the manufacturer – you can read more on oxo-biodegradable plastics on Wikipedia) As an added bonus, these envelopes are also a product of Canada, which means your shipping package hasn’t already been shipped from overseas.
Choose from 4”x 8”, 6”x10” and 8.5”x12” sizes depending on how naughty or nice your recipients have been. Be sure to let them know they have 24 months to send you something back or pop all the bubbles.
