What bothers me is not really the cardboard. At least cardboard is from a renewable resource, can be recycled and is biodegradeable.
The sheer amount of plastics used unnecessarily is depressing. Tech is especially bad for this and my pet hate of coating boxes with plastic just so they're a little shinier.
It's a PSU, I doubt I'm even going to read the box. It won't influence my purchase. I don't need a plastic wallet for the spare cables either. Try an elastic band, or a cardboard box. A mouse mat doesn't need three layers of plasticised packaging large enough to put an IBM model M inside (hello Corsair).
Sometimes I wonder if the manufacturer is actually wishing for the destruction of the planet. There's no sane reason for a USB stick, cable or mouse mat to come in tamper sealed plastic, with multiple layers and trays inside.
The more we adopt online shopping the more the manufacturers seem to want to supply everything in point of sale displays.
Then Amazon send it to you in a box the size of a small filing cabinet.
