Manufacturers are starting to take notice and provide better packaging with less left over waste.
Remember unboxing your last big gadget purchase? How many unnecessary layers of plastic, paper and cardboard did you have to wade through before getting to the actual hardware?
More to the point: Would you rather have more efficient packaging, less trash and a healthier environment?
The origami-like swaddling of hardware could be a much greener undertaking, and the companies focusing on better packaging solutions say their efforts could be a big part of making the gadget industry more sustainable. Supply chain firm ModusLink is one such company, and it’s done a bit of research on how much CO2 its environmentally friendly packaging is saving the planet.
ModusLink SVP Lorcan Sheehan wrote on the company’s blog that its sustainable packaging changes have so far “eliminate[d] a combined 4,085 metric tons of GHG through package changes — the equivalent of 672 passenger vehicles not driven, 8,254 barrels of oil not used and 404,421 gallons of gasoline not used.”
He says the new packaging is not surprisingly also good for the company’s bottom line; ModusLink saved its customers $6.2 million annually.
Take a look at the infographic below. Do you think more companies should be focusing on streamlined, greener packaging?

You can also help save the planet when you choose cardboard packaging materials as cardboard is recyclable and can be fully reprocessed using about 25% of the energy that is needed to produce the product in the first place.
