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.

Just tried Sainsbury Wrapping paper, it has taken 25 mins to get the stickers off unwrapped to first sheet, the rest of it will be going recycling, never to be bought again.

It didn't take 25 minutes. You are ruining your point with that kind of egregious exaggeration.

They provide extra paper, and all it takes is scissors or a small sharp knife to slit the sticker
