Made for a funny video though. T-Mobile is certainly making a big step in the right direction as far as over packaging goes but there is certainly room for improvement. And while the components may be recyclable you are right many places won't take that type of PET plastic, nor would the majority of consumers even think it was recyclable in the first place. Still, 45 percent reduction in plastic is still a good step. I agree with Eric – simple to open eh? Made for a funny video though.

That was simple to open and environmentally friendly? Not so much. How about a simple paperboard box for the little gadget. Put a picture on the front and call it a day. I know it may no be as sexy, but come on. When are we gonna get this overpackaging thing under control? You’re kidding. That was simple to open and environmentally friendly? Not so much.
