Recycled Christmas Cards

Sort By

More consumers and businesses are interested in ordering greeting cards made of recycled or sustainably sourced materials. Recycling Christmas cards can also be a natural choice for disposal services. Shop a selection of customizable eco-friendly Christmas, holiday and seasonal greetings.

Recycled Card Materials

A growing number of card designs are printed on post-consumer recyclable, pre-consumer reclaimed or sustainable materials. Some recycled paper Christmas cards also use ink safe for recycling to print cover designs and interior messages. Check to see whether envelopes are unlined or lined, which may affect the ability of packing material to be recycled.

Depending on your priorities, you may prefer to send FSC 100%, Recycled or Mix cards. All of these options are more sustainable and generate less waste than cards made of either non-certified or virgin materials. Cards that consist entirely of recycled material or that mix a substantial percentage of recycled material in with new material can lower the carbon footprint of card production.

Sustainable Greeting Cards

Professionals in any field and individual senders may prefer to send greeting cards made of recycled or sustainable materials. Depending on the nature of your business, you may prefer one type of card over the other. Forestry or renewable energy professionals, for instance, might prefer to send FSC 100% cards that only consist of pulp sourced from certified forests. Waste disposal services may be more interested in cards that consist entirely or partly of recycled materials.

When it comes to recycling Christmas cards, it is important to factor in the composition of the stock, ink and premium card and envelope materials such as foil liners. The choices you make in terms of card design can help to reduce unnecessary waste. In addition to the card design you choose, you can also promote an environmental charity by sending cards. Select a registered tax-deductible organization to receive 20% of the purchase price of cards and include a charity line in each card.
