I am thrilled with the eco-friendly packaging concepts. It can be easily recycled or reused, and the design is not bad at all.

Packaging has made great progress in recent years but at times the packaging that ships in a larger box than necessary was because the shipping clerk did not follow procedure. There are a lot of contract packaging providers that use cheap labor and if they don’t follow proper procedures this could be a problem. HP and Amazon have also improved a great deal on the packaging they provide. Take the Amazon Kindle reader – It is packaged in a small molded pulp tray and inside a small box that is very close to form fitting. These companies are working towards more streamlined packaging but problems still exist. The reusable box is out there but the cost is still a bit much for some companies. We will see it more in the future.

I wish Speedo would figure out a way to REUSE those boxes, rather than simply recycling them. There is a misconception about recycling, that it saves the universe. But what people overlook is that recycling is a manufacturing process, and manufacturing processes spew pollutants into the air.

I mean, why not just have the swim shops ship all of the boxes back to Speedo to use over again?
