James Cropper and Hallmark Launch Eco-Friendly Greeting Cards in the UK

— July 24, 2019 — Social Good
James Cropper, the renown materials and paper products group, recently partnered with Hallmark to launch creative and bespoke eco-friendly greeting cards in the UK. The line features 44 eye-catching cards that are made from upcycled coffee cups that are 100% recyclable.
