Recyclable Paper Card Games

UNO Nothin' But Paper Has No Cellophane Wrapping

— October 22, 2020 — Eco
UNO Nothin' But Paper is an eco-friendly version of the popular card-matching game that has no cellophane, which makes the entire deck and its packaging 100% recyclable. In place of cellophane wrapping, the card decks are secured with paper bands and the colorful cards are as vibrant as ever yet they're printed with soy-based ink. The pack also includes other green materials like water-based glue, which helps to create a completely non-toxic product.

While the materials and packaging have been altered to introduce a greener version of the card game, the gameplay experience is the same.

This eco-friendly version of the card game supports a larger mission to use only recycled, recyclable or bio-based plastic materials in all products and packaging by 2030.
