Of that 2%, packaging materials comprise approximately 15% of the shipping cycle impact, which is approximately 0.003% of the total environmental impact. Doesn't sound like fertile ground for improving sustainability, right? Wrong. If a tablet breaks during the shipping cycle because the right protective packaging wasn't used, that tablet's environmental impact doubles. The resources used to produce a replacement ship it to the consumer, and returning the broken product can more than double the product's sustainabilit...
