Wow, that is quite precise, some are keeping their equipment tidy...
I do like my planet, but respecfully I really have a hard time finding anything truly wasteful in Vandoren's packaging:
- the plastic casing is great to physically protect each reed and prevent warping, while allowing grouping/transport in the most convenient way. For me the most convenient for groups of broken-in reeds is a set of (ziplock + humidity pack) for home and old Vandoren boxes for transport because they are smaller and fit better within the instrument case.
- the individual flow-pack wrapping to preserve humidity is a lifesaver for those living in humidity challenged areas (these days humidity is about 25% inside homes in Quebec where I live, and in six months it will be 75-80%), and for guaranteeing that the box one purchases hasn't dried out and degraded since it was produced.
Wasteful IMO would be Amazon shipping a box to you with lots of bubble wrap and within a large cardboard box (which they often do).
If one is so concerned as to classify anything temporally limited as waste, should those who recently offered a bunch of flowers for Valentine's day feel guilty for using the plastic equivalent of a few years of flow-packs for flowers that last a fraction of a reed's life ?
