Well, that was an interesting set of responses. I think we have to be clear that it's not going to make any difference to saving the planet whether or not Vandoren use a little bit of extra plastic in packing reeds. If I cared about saving the planet, I should really have turned off my gas central heating this winter - but I didn't. I feel a bit ashamed about this, but not enough to act, it seems.
No, the wastefulness I deplore in Vandoren is the use of space. The volume devoted to holding 10 reeds has expanded by a factor 10 in the time I've been playing. The current boxes are too big to fit inside most cases. And the foil wrappers are just an irritation when wanting to break in a new box. I take the point about humidity, but indeed that can be dealt with by shrink-wrapping the whole box.
