The supermarket had already removed glitter from crackers and cards in previous years - and said its latest move will allow customers to have "a more sustainable Christmas". The decision will remove more than 3.1 tonnes of plastic shrink wrap from its wrapping paper alone, Morrisons said. The ban affects all festive wrapping paper and gifting accessories, such as gift tags and bags - which will be made of recyclable paper instead. Wrapping paper, which cost £2 in 2021, will be sold for just 99p this year and gift bags have also been reduced.

It's what our customers tell us they want too. "During the Christmas period, 269,423 miles of wrapping paper are used every year, contributing to plastic ending up in landfill. "Our new entirely plastic-free Christmas wrap and gift range means customers can have a more sustainable Christmas and we hope that cutting costs on gift bags and wrapping paper will help them in that." The new range supports Morrisons' target to reduce plastic packaging by 50% and to make all own-brand plastic packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025.
