Totally agree Wes. But at least they are cutting back on the amount of actual plastic per item - as I said in the other thread - we used to get packages where the item was surrounded with polystyrene worms or beads.

But my Fathers Day Present arrived in a box with the item internally supported by just three clear plastic balloons or “bladders”.

A bit like individual bubbles from a giant bubble wrap.

So a lot less plastic - far more air.

And like you - I can easily reuse bubble wrap - I use it for insulation. It’s really really good.
