“How much packaging material do I need?” Asking yourself this question – and

Rethinking the answer – is worthwhile in addition to numerous other advantages, especially if you want to pack environmentally friendly. Because those who use less save raw materials and resources – in many ways.

All of this reduces CO 2 emissions.
