The poppy has been a symbol of Remembrance for over a hundred years, and the Royal British Legion newly designed poppy retains the iconic shape, whilst being entirely made from paper.
The new poppy is fully recyclable, plastic free and made entirely from paper, with 50% of the material coming from recycled coffee cups. The poppy will be available for the Legion's Poppy Appeal later this year. Donations for both poppies help the Royal British Legion continue its vital work supporting the Armed Forces community.
Commenting, Leo said:
"It's fantastic to see the Royal British Legion unveil it's new plastic-free poppy. With it's new paper design, retaining the iconic design, this poppy will reduce carbon emissions in production by 40%.
"I’ll be wearing mine with pride."
