Anyone else feel the rage at Sainsbury’s wrapping paper

[BlueSkySunshineDay]

Just WHY?!

@BlueSkySunshineDay yes but they are much weightier to transport which adds to pollution and produce much more pollution to manufacture, which also stays in the environment for ever. We should be minimising plastics, of course, and I'm worried about the impact of microplastics too but all I'm saying is that sometimes it is a question of which evil rather than there being a clear ecological winner.

They are also terribly designed! They don’t peel as suggested. They need a better product. It’s not rocket science!

I don’t understand why they have to glue the whole way round. Surely they are tight enough that a thin strip of glue would be enough

Sainsbury’s wrapping paper 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Primary wrapping paper is usually top notch.

Nice and thick and easy to get the stickers off it.

Primark, not primary.

use newspaper? reusable bags? scarves? supermarket paper bag?

Just used the Sainsburys wrapping paper. Asbolutely useless. It is meant to be good for recycling. I don't' know how because you end up wasting half of it getting it out of wrapping. Sigh.

Agree, the experience is shit. No crisp edge, frustration over the stickers ripping off in tiny pieces and getting under your nails, feeling like you’re ruining the roll, having to cut the mangled edge off yourself.

In Portugal where I now live, no one appears to wrap presents (unless wrapped in the shop) - everyone uses gift bags. And these can be reused multiple times. Much better!

So many poor packaging decisions being made rn - lidless cream, those stupid fucking bottle top tags with threads that are too shallow to reseal, mince that looks like it's been prepared by Dennis Nilsen, wrapping paper you can't unwrap or use sellotape on, etc ... surely making objects that don't do their job properly and waste products is environmentally unsound?

Oh yes! Drives me mental.

Homous with no lids!!!!

I read the OP, and had to mention the mince but I see others have beaten me to it. I will tolerate frustrations like the wrapping paper (ish), but the mince packaging fundamentally changes its texture and it’s grim. I buy elsewhere now.
