A gift wrap rental service has launched for Christmas to encourage shoppers to wrap gifts sustainably with no waste, and at a fraction of the cost of buying and owning it.

Wrag Wrap, the social enterprise founded in 2012 by Devon-based Louise Oldridge and Nicky Rajska, offers Furoshiki-inspired fabric gift wrap designed for a lifetime of use – only now, it's available to rent.

Aiming to make reusable gift wrap more accessible and affordable, Wrag Wrap hopes to reduce gift wrapping waste without compromising on the joy of giving a beautifully wrapped present.

An estimated 50,000 trees are cut down to supply the demand for paper gift wrap every Christmas, and Wrag Wrap's rental service is said to reduce the cost of wrapping gifts sustainably by at least 80 per cent.

The rental wraps are made from 45 per cent traceable recycled plastic bottles and come in a selection of three sizes with a message card pouch, fastening cord, and anchor button sewn into each wrap.

• You also have the option to buy, keep and gift away either some or all of your rented wraps. Non-returned wraps will be offered at a goodwill rate of 20 per cent less than the retail price.

• If you decide that you would like to keep all the wraps, then you can do so for the value of your deposit.

• Wrag Wrap take on the cleaning, maintenance and repair of the wraps that are loaned out, ensuring that all wraps remain as good as new.

'The reaction to our rental initiative has been overwhelming,' Nicky says. 'The 10 and 20 packs have been the most popular. It will be interesting to see how many come back to us and are truly rented or are kept.'
