Whether this is actually a progression over B&M stores is a different topic. But the amount of waste (most of these packaging materials are not being properly recycled. I do, but most of my neighbors don't) this $5.6 billion industry produced is astonishing. It's such a wasteful industry that China Post actually came up with laws and regulations ordering carriers to reduce wastes by simplifying packaging for online ordered goods just starting late 2016[1] Anecdotally, my friends in China told me that some of their double singles day items came in thin poly packs that without air cushions and most of the electronics are shipped with retail packaging as is and without an outer carton box. I think U.S. should follow suit. [1]: http://www.spb.gov.cn/dtxx_15079/201608/t20160812_826406.html http://www.spb.gov.cn/dtxx_15079/201608/t20160812_826406.htm...
