This is utter nonsense. From all I can say, Amazon has been moving away from recyclable / re-usable packaging and is pretty bad at optimization. Paper padded envelope have moved recently to plastic ones (say, over the past 6 month). Now the shipping tag cannot be removed and the enveloppe cannot be reused. Also Carboard box move every now and then to non-descript box to highly customized and covered by advertisement ones. On the optimization side, they are very, VERY, bad, how many times have I received a huge box with a tiny item...
