Publish Not your original work? Add source Packaging, packaging, PACKAGING! Ugh, it gets on our nerves so much when companies use far too much packaging for their products. 'Excessive' doesn't even cut it when you look at all the plastic, paper, and bubble wrap needed for a single tiny thing. Meanwhile, the Environment's sitting in the corner, weeping, wondering what it did wrong to deserve this and why companies don't change their outdated business models. Some packaging is so horrifyingly unnecessary, it gets shamed on the r/EgregiousPackaging subreddit, a place that shows that excess is far from the positive thing that some customers are led to believe. Scroll down to see the very worst offenders and let us know in the comments what the very worst example was that you've seen with your own two eyes, Pandas. When you're done with this list, you can find more fuel for your outrage by reading these two Bored Panda articles about excessive packaging right here, as well as here.

View more comments The r/EgregiousPackaging online community is fairly new. Founded in early 2019, it will be celebrating its 3rd birthday on January 16, 2022. In that time, the group has grown to 16.3k. A while back, I spoke to four experts about packaging, plastic, business, and recycling. They went in-depth with Bored Panda about the reasons why companies actually focus on having more packaging than we might think is necessary, and highlighted what we as consumers can do to affect their decision-making process. Graham Forbes, Greenpeace's Global Project Leader for the Plastic-Free-Future, told Bored Panda that companies have convinced people that they can use something once, for a few minutes, and then simply throw it away. "The problem is, we know now that there is no such thing as 'away,'" he said. #4Not Sure If This Counts But This Is For Only Three Things At CVS

View more comments "Less than 10 percent of the plastic waste ever made has actually been recycled, with the vast majority ending up in our oceans, landfills, or incinerated-polluting communities around the globe," Forbes, from Greenpeace, warned. "Companies are still stuck in this outdated business model that uses unnecessary packaging and puts the onus on the consumer to clean it up. It is up to all of us to demand accountability from these companies that continue to churn out throwaway plastic. It's time to demand systems of reuse rather than polluting throwaway packaging," he said. #7Matryoshka Allergy Relief

View more comments "By utilizing reusable bottles, bags, or containers, we can start to build the systems that we want to see from large companies. Ultimately, large-scale systemic change will depend on companies like Nestle, Coca-Cola, and PepsiCo changing their business models to reject throwaway plastic packaging. By rejecting throwaway culture, we can move them in a better direction quickly," Forbes explained to Bored Panda. Meanwhile, Kara Pochiro from the Association of Plastic Recyclers noted that "packaging often has a variety of uses that the general consumer does not realize such as protection and preservation." In short, there are clear reasons why companies add a lot of packaging that we might find egregiously excessive. However, this doesn't mean that we can't change how companies operate. By changing our spending habits, we can affect the business models that corporations go for. #10My Father Ordered 15 Fence Posts… Legends Tell Of A Second Truck Out There Somewhere Going To Deliver The Last One

"Removing unnecessary plastic requires companies to redefine their supply chain. They have to do RnD while keeping in mind challenges like the visual appeal of product packaging, the durability of alternatives, sustained supply of alternatives, costing, and manufacturing," he told Bored Panda that this may be part of the reason why some companies don't make the switch. #16An Office Supply Company Bubble-Wrapped Their Bubble Wrap

View more comments "It is important for customers to purchase and use products made by businesses that focus on sustainability. When people start buying from eco-friendly businesses, the demand for such goods would increase and ignite other players to cater to this trend which could be done by a simple change in current company policies," Almack said that customers can be a force for change. "Being more conscious about our throwaway culture is where one should surely start. Simple changes to eliminate single-use plastic go a long way: avoid gum and plasticware, reuse storage containers and use razors with replaceable blades," Almack explained what we can do as individuals to help the environment. Every small bit of effort matters, even if it's the large multinational companies who hold most of the power to affect change. #19Really… Amazon…
