California Product Stewardship Council's (CPSC) Heidi Sanborn is quoted in two June 2017 articles on the changing waste stream as more consumers shop from home and receive packages with ice packs in cardboard boxes from services such as Amazon and Blue Apron. Sanborn called on businesses to reduce their packaging while at the same time consumers need to ask businesses for less and more reusable packaging. Mother Jones estimated that Blue Apron sends out "192,000 tons of freezer-pack waste every year... the weight of nearly 100,000 cars or 2 million adult men." Sanborn said "the current arrangement suits the meal-kit providers just fine. It's taxpayers that are paying for these old freezer packs to sit in the landfill forever. Companies are getting a total freebie."
