Recently I got some 9V batteries from Amazon (for the smoke detector). They all came individualy shrink wrapped in plastic - all 8 of them - despite coming in a box that was surely strong enough to protect them from damage on the short trip from the fulfillment center. Why? Protect from corrosion? This is probably a poor example, as I'm sure there must be some reason to do this with batteries, but so many things we buy online now come with mountains of non-recyclable plastics that just create more waste. I'm with other commenters here: tax the hell out of this stuff and force retailers, especially ones with clout like Amazon, to develop different packaging technologies that don't overuse plastics for literally everything. |
