Comment on Ordered 20+ groceries from Amazon on Prime Day. Today my order arrived with each item packaged separately.

  I’ve seen padding made of something like cellulose foam, that the manufacturer claims dissolves harmlessly during the paper recycling process, and therefore they put the “recycle as cardboard” on the package. Those are rare though.

  I just got one today and it has this printed on it:

    Yes. I got a package from Amazon US a couple weeks after this post and it had that written on it. I pulled it apart to investigate but the padding was not plastic bubbles like the ones in my OP photo. So it must be some sort of corn stuff that can be recycled, but unfortunately I've never had Australian Amazon packages in that recyclable padded packaging. We have a stiff cardboard bag that can be recycled but it's only single layer. My groceries did not even require padded packaging though!
