How terrible is Sainsbury's wrapping paper with sticky labels

First world problems, I know.

Just bought some wrapping paper from Sainsbury's and instead of being wrapped in plastic it has recyclable stickers. Great idea - who doesn't want to help the environment.

However dear reader, they are the worst stickers in the world. Definitely no easy peel in sight. I absolutely could not remove the stickers without completely shredding the wrapping paper. What a mess!

Am I missing something? A trick to remove them without the paper resembling confetti by the end?

Or do we just accept these now. It's the best we can do, if we care about the environment. Like paper straws.

Yes, bloody nightmare that stuff. Some peels away some tears it’s v annoying even just 2 bits rather than 4 it’s very frustrating having to cut a big bit off before you even start!!
