I think Amazon just adds another layer of packaging. I can imagine you are still responsible for yours.


And that's the irony for me - adds another package over package, but it probably complies with documents, I hope they are filled in paper.

I get the idea behind the law. Not once I was surprised how many waste is in packaging and badly packaged goods (not only shipped, but even available in local shop). But this regulation changes nothing, just adds layer of paperwork and broke international shipping (many non-eu stopped selling to eu - I hope it's temporary only…).


Don’t worry there’s regulation in the works that will mandate how much air you can have in the box[1]. The EU is on the case.

Good lord. At what point do we need to just wipe the slate clean and start over?
