Just received an order from non-Amazon that used honeycomb packing paper. No idea how it works out in terms of cost/carbon emissions/etc but it seemed to do an excellent job protecting the product.
Of course, this was a more expensive product from a company that pays and treats its employees better than Amazon, so who knows if Amazon workers will be able to use the product correctly as they struggle to hit their quotas and are forced to skip their rest breaks.

Good. I hate those things.
Not only are they more plastic waste, they don't do what they're intended to do. They tend to show up already pre-popped, with stuff bouncing around inside the box.
(Not the worst packing Amazon uses, though. I once got a SSD that had been folded in half because the fools shipped it in an envelope.)
