Recently I've been on the lookout for ways to package items with less waste - I already recycle jiffy mailers when I can* and snatch up any card or bubble wrap that enters the house, to re-use in my parcels. But I wanted to find some sources for actual recycled papers, business supplies, and other items. I haven't used any of these places yet, so I can't vouch for their service/quality, but I thought sharing them here might help out anyone looking for similar products (UK based).
To see previous resource posts, click here for 'ethical' supplies and here for vegan craft items
Green Stationary:
http://www.greenstat.co.uk/storefront/home - stationary that is bio-degradable or recycled in some way, as well as 'green' office supplies like recycled printer cartridges and catering packaging.
Recycled Paper Supplies:
http://rps.gn.apc.org/index.htm - card-making, wrapping, paper, and packaging that is recyclable, and mostly recycled.
Eco-craft:
http://www.eco-craft.co.uk/ - yay, an eco-crafts site. Papers, cards and display bags. (Now all we need is an all vegan craft site)
Tiny Box Company:
http://www.tinyboxcompany.co.uk/ - already well-known, but they do a great range of jewellery, cupcake, and gift boxes in recycled cards (I *have* bought their boxes before, and they were great)
Eco-topia:
http://www.ecotopia.co.uk/pages/default.aspx - as well as a wide array of paper and business supplies, they carry eco-friendly gifts like mouse mats made out of juice cartons, and various cool-looking gadgets.
*i.e. when I haven't ripped them open down the middle in haste. Ooops.
