Recycled Wrapping Paper and Shredded Paper

BuyEcoGreen’s Wrapping Paper and Shredded Paper range gives schools, councils, government departments, not-for-profits, childcare centres and workplaces a complete plastic-free alternative to conventional packaging materials. From recycled kraft paper rolls in multiple sizes for everyday institutional wrapping, packing and display, to shredded recycled paper that replaces polystyrene foam and plastic void fill in dispatch and gift presentation operations, every product in this range is uncoated, unlaminated and fully recyclable at end of use.

Available in bulk quantities for consistent institutional supply across Australia. Products in this category work together with BuyEcoGreen’s Tissue Paper, Recycled Gift Boxes, Twine and Raffia and Biodegradable Sticky Tape to form a complete, cohesive and plastic-free institutional packaging system.

Recycled Kraft Wrapping Paper Rolls

BuyEcoGreen stocks recycled kraft paper rolls across three formats to suit different institutional volumes and operational requirements. All rolls are unprinted, uncoated and free from plastic films, foil finishes or synthetic treatments.

Home and Office Pack: 375mm x 15m, 70% Recycled Content The Recycled Brown Kraft Wrapping Paper Roll Home or Office Pack is the compact format suited to everyday desk, classroom and administration use. At 375mm wide and 15m long, it is a practical size to keep in a stock room drawer, classroom cupboard or administration office and pull out as needed for parcel wrapping, gift finishing, table covering or backing paper tasks. Made from 70% recycled fibre with virgin kraft content providing structural strength for everyday handling.

Best suited for: Classroom and childcare centre art activity table covering. School administration parcel wrapping. Council and government office desk and meeting room use. Community organisation events and small-scale gift wrap programs. Organisations needing a manageable roll size for occasional use.

Commercial Roll: 65gsm, 500mm wide, 70m long, 100% Recycled Content The Recycled Brown Kraft Paper Roll 500mm is the medium-volume commercial format for organisations with regular and higher-volume wrapping, packing and dispatch requirements. Wider than the home and office pack, it covers larger items, wider notice boards and bigger parcel sizes. Produced from 100% recycled content for the strongest environmental credential.

Best suited for: School and council dispatch operations sending materials and resources to families, members or community participants. Not-for-profit mail-out programs. Workplace packaging for products or documents dispatched regularly. Notice board and display backing across large institutional wall surfaces.

Heavy-Duty Commercial Roll: 80gsm, 600mm wide, 50m long, 100% Recycled Content The Recycled Brown Kraft Paper Roll 600mm is the widest and heaviest format in the range, suited to organisations requiring robust protection for larger items, heavier parcels and high-volume dispatch operations. The 80gsm weight provides stronger tear resistance and better cushioning for fragile or bulky items. 100% recycled content.

Best suited for: Government department and council dispatch operations sending physical resources to multiple sites. School resource distribution to families across enrolment periods. Not-for-profit product dispatch and community program material distribution at scale.

Recycled Shredded Paper

BuyEcoGreen’s shredded recycled paper is not simply shredded paper that happens to carry a recycled label. It is manufactured from offcuts and process waste generated during the production of Ecopaper’s own 100% post-consumer recycled paper products, including recycled copy paper, recycled envelopes and recycled paper bags.

This means the shredded paper is a recycled product made from the manufacturing offcuts of other recycled products, and after use as void fill or gift presentation fill it can be recycled again through standard paper recycling. No separate raw material supply is needed. No additional virgin fibre is extracted. The waste stream from producing one category of sustainable product becomes the raw material for another. That is a genuinely closed-loop outcome in a packaging category where most products, however they are marketed, still begin with fresh raw materials.

No competitor in Australia offers shredded paper with this level of verified circular provenance.

Available in two formats to suit different institutional ordering volumes:

Shredded Recycled Paper A4 Box:  The trial and lower-volume option for organisations starting to transition away from synthetic void fill, or for smaller and seasonal programs such as end-of-year hampers, award presentations and community event gift bags.

Shredded Recycled Paper 9kg Bulk Box: The high-volume option for organisations with ongoing packaging, hamper assembly or gift presentation programs. Supplied compressed at approximately 8 to 9kg and expanding to approximately 20 cubic feet of usable volume when fluffed for use. Designed for regular institutional ordering and efficient bulk storage.

Why Uncoated Recycled Kraft is Fully Recyclable When Conventional Wrapping Paper is Not

The recyclability of wrapping paper is determined by what has been applied to the paper surface, not the paper itself. Conventional wrapping paper loses its recyclability when it carries:

• Metallic foil or holographic finishes that cannot be separated from the paper fibre during pulping
• Plastic laminates or coatings applied to create sheen or water resistance
• Glitter or synthetic decorative treatments bonded to the surface
• Heavy dyes and pigments that contaminate the paper recycling stream

BuyEcoGreen’s recycled kraft rolls contain none of these. The paper is uncoated, unlaminated, unprinted and free from all synthetic surface treatments. This means every sheet of kraft paper used by your organisation, whether for wrapping, packing, backing, covering or display, can go directly into the standard paper recycling bin at end of use. It can also be composted. There is nothing in the product that compromises its end-of-life recyclability.

For organisations with sustainability reporting requirements, zero-to-landfill targets or plastic-free procurement policies, this is a directly documentable and auditable environmental outcome across every roll used.

Supporting Green Procurement Compliance and Sustainability Reporting

Switching from conventional wrapping paper and synthetic void fill to BuyEcoGreen’s recycled kraft and shredded paper supports your organisation in meeting:

• State and federal government green procurement guidelines requiring recycled content and recyclable materials in packaging purchases
• Plastic-free procurement policies and organisational commitments to eliminating single-use plastic from operations
• Zero-to-landfill targets supported by choosing fully recyclable and compostable packaging materials
• Sustainability reporting frameworks that include packaging material choices as a documentable environmental metric
• National Packaging Targets and commitments to responsible packaging across institutional operations
• Education for Sustainability commitments in schools where materials choices, including packaging, form part of the visible environmental program

BuyEcoGreen can supply product environmental documentation including recycled content percentages, recyclability information and material composition details to support your organisation’s sustainability reporting and audit requirements.
