A research commissioned by DS Smith recently has revealed that more than 224 million people will be purchasing Christmas presents online this year.

This will produce 350 thousand tonnes of unnecessary packaging if brands and retailers do not optimise their packaging.

Earlier this month, Tesco eliminated more than 20 million pieces of plastic from its Christmas range this year.

Waitrose also announced that it will sell two designs of unwrapped gift paper this Christmas.
