Eco Lite Wrapping Paper is locally made and designed right here in Savannah. Each year Americans alone use 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper. Gloss, Glitter, and Metallic elements render wrapping paper non-recyclable sending 7 billion dollars worth of wrapping paper to the landfill annually. Founder, Katie's love language is giving gifts, and she was determined to find a solution to the problem.
Lite Foot teamed up with artists to design beautiful pieces printed on un-glossed paper, with soy base ink, making this product backyard compostable, recyclable or hang as art(able). By purchasing this product you are not only supporting artists and reducing your carbon footprint, but you are adding value to the gift you are giving.
This wrapping paper is beautiful and durable - it can be used multiple times and even be apart of the gift itself.
