Nonsense
they use package for "marketing"
If the marketing value is greater than the cost of the packaging they will
use it, they don't care about the extra costs of disposal because it doesn't
fall on them
You only have to go to Germany to see this. There, the manufactures do have
to pay for the disposal costs of their marketing material, and packaging
really is pared to the bone.
They're not looking to throw money away.
they not - they see an added value in it.
There are reasons for the packaging that's used.
because it provides a widow for marketing
Taxing them means that tax is passed to the customer, ie all it would be
is one more way for government to scam money out of us all.
Didn't work that way in Germany - the unnecessary packaging disappeared at
no costs to the consumer
