Switch To These Zero Waste Playing Cards For All The Fun & None Of The Guilt

Meghna Mathew

The joy of sitting around a pack of cards, while a loved one distributes them and another is already calling out a cheat plan is unbeatable. Whether it be Diwali or a regular late-night shenanigan, playing cards hold a special place in Indian families’ traditions.

However, recent years have taught us to minimise our plastic usage and wastage as much as possible –– playing cards, almost always made out of plastic, are no exception. Bare Necessities spares us the guilt of plastic pollution while fulfilling our playing cards need with their ‘Zero Waste Playing Cards Deck’.

Made with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified-paper, this deck lets go the use of plastic, and also spruces each card up with a quirky sustainability fact and illustration. The deck is classy to look at, fun to play with and, of course, contributes to a more eco-friendly future without compromises on family card nights!

You can purchase the Zero Waste Playing Cards Deck  here.
