Your Christmas Tree’s Carbon Footprint

Did you know that most fake trees are made of PVC – a plastic which is notoriously difficult if not impossible to get recycled because it requires specialist equipment, so if you think you’re doing your bit for the planet by NOT having a real tree this Christmas, it could be time to think a little deeper…

Alternatives are out there – pot-grown trees – which can be planted out in the garden when Christmas is over or re-potted and used again year after year – are rising in popularity, according to retailers, while some are opting for a Christmas-tree free year.

Here at PATT, we’ve come up with a suitably festive solution we think you’ll love: plant a tree for Christmas and give that gift to your family and friends.
