Every single return Ive done or seen at my drop offs goes into a single use plastic bag + plastic from the tape they use. 99% of my items could ship in a paper bag and don't need plastic bubble wrap. The bubble bag or plastic bag is always completely oversized for the item. I could go on but I think everyone knows the same form their own experience with amazon.

The paper and cardboard products weigh more, which at Amazon scale means an incredible amount of fuel used. The trade offs aren’t cut and dry.
