Jonathan Kamens 86 47I was sufficiently amused by this #packagingWaste that it feels worth sharing on the off chance it might amuse someone else (in a #smdh sort of way). Look at the size of the item #Garmin shippped vs. the size of the box they put it in. There's nothing fragile here; they could have put it in a padded envelope. (bonus cat in the last photo!)
The shipping box is 8"x6"x5". The shipped item, 7"x2.5"x1", took up less than 8% of the volume of the shipping box.

PetraSo here's a bit about what I do for a living. I'm an environmental consultant and I specialise in management systems and waste management. In March Defra has made changes to the Extended Producer Responsibility Scheme. It places greater responsibility on producers of goods needing packaging. It ends up as waste and we, the people, currently pay for it to be collected and dealt with. Now the EPR means that companies must track their packaging and account for it and pay for the waste they put out as packaging. The EPR therefore outlines ways to save on materials, what to use that is easier to recycle and how to avoid waste packaging. It's back on them now. It should NEVER have been down to the individual to save the planet one bottle at a time - the great corporate con! Now, at least companies in England and Wales will be paying for their crap, and not us. #extendedproducerresponsibilityscheme #ukwaste #packagingwaste #reducingwasteatsource #producerpays
