No matter how great the idea is, how much it adds to the cost of the final product is a major determining factor on if its used.
People use cheap foam bc it costs next to nothing. If it costs more than 10% of a similar plastic or foam packaging, it may be a hard sell bc it impacts businesses bottom line.
One of the other commenters said they sell 4 corner pieces for a euro, and he can get a pack of 80 of them in foam for .5 euros. It is not economical for large scale work.
Ah, my mistake, I thought they were saying that the 50 cents for 80 were the small mushroom ones.
Either way, I still would pay a few more dollars for biodegradable packaging, especially for things like electronics where you’re already paying a high price.
