I am doing my Masters Thesis on transportation and packaging. I am interested in any packaging changes companies have made to improve the efficiency of their shipping, both environmentally and in terms of volume. More specifically, I am focusing on alternative and environmental packaging which reduces the cube for over all shipment. I would love to hear any of your experiences. Also, if you have a few minutes, I would love if you could fill out this survey based on your experiential knowledge:
