Closed corrugated cardboard shipping box

The box has been opened, and you can now see inside it several small air-bags padding and mostly obscuring a small grey item.

The air-bags have been removed and you can now see the item, a grey box containing a Garmin watch-band, at the bottom of the shipping box, taking up very little space compared to the size of the box.

The box has been turned the other way, the padding has been put back inside it, and the watch-band box is sitting on the table in front of it, so you can see more clearly how much smaller the watch-band box is than the shipping box. Behind the shipping box is a black cat sniffing at the box.

I 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 […]

The future is reuse, and it’s closer than we think.

We already know single-use packaging -- paper or plastic -- isn’t the answer. Now it’s time to roll up our sleeves and make reuse systems the norm, not the exception.
