50 Examples of Wasteful Packaging That Would Make Mother Nature Want to Scream

This packaging example is a good reminder that in-person shopping has major benefits. Someone ordered a broom from Amazon. This is how it was packaged and delivered. The broom came in a huge box full of paper packaging. We understand that the person who received this package is flabbergasted by the amount of packaging, but we can’t think of a better way to ship a broom.

This broom is an odd size and shape. There’s no box in existence that would conveniently fit this broom unless it was custom-made. Plus, plastic brooms can technically break. They can snap in half if they’re not carefully packaged. All in all, this person could have created less packaging waste by buying this broom in person.
