Can someone please explain to me why a glue stick comes packed in a B5 size moulded plastic envelope, that also includes a B5 sized piece of cardboard with more or less the same instructions that already figure on the glue stick's plastic coating?
It seems crazy to me that a product that costs me 2.50 € - by the way WHEN did glue sticks become so expensive?! - has soo much added, and useless, packaging to its name. This small example makes me wonder when we became OK with so much needless waste of materials. Before taking it to the check out counter I looked over all the other products around - pens, rulers, post its... all came with this kind of XL packaging. Only the notebooks seemed completely packaging free, or just covered in film plastic. Now, this is just an idea but - can't they start reducing the amount of packaging around stationary? Why does the packaging of a pen have to be 5x bigger than the pen itself?
It doesn't make sense to have all that extra weight or for it to take up all that extra space. Just think about shopping for a new school year! You get home with all the products in your check list and end up recycling bag fulls of packaging that it all came in. Not good.
