Piecing Together Sustainability: Three Ways to Go Green with Puzzles This April

April brings Earth Month and the perfect opportunity to embrace sustainable living—even in your leisure time. If you love the quiet mindfulness of puzzles, you’ll be happy to know that you can piece together fun and eco-consciousness. Here are three thoughtful ways to incorporate sustainability into your puzzle habits this spring.


1. Choose Earth-Friendly Puzzles 🌎

Not all puzzles are created equal. Many conventional puzzles are made with laminated, plastic-coated cardboard or come wrapped in excess plastic. This month, try choosing puzzles made with recycled cardboard, soy-based inks, and plastic-free packaging. These options are just as beautiful and durable—and much gentler on the planet.

Look for:

  • FSC-certified materials

  • Recyclable boxes

  • Minimal or compostable packaging

2. Host a Puzzle Swap or Puzzle Library Event 

Spring is a time of renewal—and what better way to refresh your collection than a puzzle swap? Invite neighbors, friends, or community members to bring puzzles they’ve completed and exchange them for new challenges. Even better: set up a “puzzle library” box in your neighborhood or school.


Why it’s sustainable: It extends the life of puzzles, keeps them out of landfills, and reduces demand for new production.

3. Try Puzzle Upcycling Projects 

Have a puzzle missing a piece? Don’t toss it! April is a great time to get creative with what you already have. Turn old puzzle pieces into magnets, bookmarks, ornaments, or even wall art. Upcycling is a fun way to keep materials in use while adding charm to your home or gifts.


Sustainable puzzling = mindful fun + planet care.

This April, let your love of puzzling reflect your love of the Earth—one piece at a time.
