Check out Amazon.com, they've just posted this on their front page:
"Today, we're excited to announce the beginning of a multi-year initiative designed to alleviate wrap rage -- Amazon "Frustration-Free Packaging."
Amazon is working with leading manufacturers to deliver products inside smaller, easy-to-open, recyclable cardboard boxes with less packaging material (and no frustrating plastic clamshells or wire ties)....
In addition to making packages easier to open, a major goal of the Frustration Free Packaging initiative is to be more environmentally friendly by using less packaging material. We've also launched a number of projects across the company to reduce waste and save energy."
