Bucks County, PA (PRWEB) June 9, 2009

Earth-conscious shoppers who participate in a program designed to reduce landfill waste can now be rewarded with a beautiful product that does the same. Today, WrapNatural announced that it has partnered with the premier recycling rewards program RecycleBank® to offer unique rewards to RecycleBank members.

Each year, Americans throw away 25 percent more trash between Thanksgiving and Christmas than any other time. Add to that all the trash leftover from birthday parties, showers, and other holiday gatherings, and our packaging waste accounts for 15 percent of everything sent to landfills annually.

Launched with the goal of cutting down on all that trash by promoting reusable and waste-free gift giving, WrapNatural is a unique and chic solution. The line of fashionable wrapping cloths and fabric gift bags makes a natural addition to RecycleBank's online rewards program. An incentive program that gets households across the country to participate in curbside recycling, RecycleBank issues Points to members for their recycling efforts. The more they recycle, the more Points a household can earn. The homeowners can then redeem Points at hundreds of national and local businesses, like WrapNatural.

In addition to promoting products and practices that cut down on landfill waste, WrapNatural creates its products from factory fabric remnants that would otherwise end up in landfills. When those aren't available, the company uses other natural and reusable materials such as unbleached muslin cotton, linen and silk. Each WrapNatural wrapping cloth and fabric bag is hand-sewn and hand-printed with elegant and colorful designs.

"WrapNatural isn't so much a product as it is a gift-giving philosophy," says founder Sharleen Smith. "It just doesn't seem right to add to the environmental burden while we're trying to celebrate meaningful life events. With our reusable gift wrap, you can live and give sustainably."
