Use cellulose sponges to pack delicate items
Sponges also present an eco-friendlier alternative to packing peanuts. “Rather than padding a delicate item that you’re sending off via ground transportation with disposable bubble wrap or packing peanuts, buy a few fresh sponges and use that along with crumpled newspaper as packing material instead.
That way, the sponges can not only protect the item, but serve a second purpose (cleaning!) long after the package has been received,” says Maker.
