Fast Company:

EBay is perhaps the ultimate online destination for used goods, so it only makes sense that the site is taking its hand-me-down sensibilities a step further with the eBay Box: a shipping container designed to be sent from sellers to buyers and back until the container becomes a soggy heap of post-recycled mud. The box, which is made out of 100% FSC-certified material, features water-based inks and requires minimal tape to close.

It's a good idea, but we don't need ebay to do it. Buyers & sellers already recycle packaging- I recycle ever package I get, and almost every package that I get has been recycled. It's a simple matter of economics, even if you don't know enough to care about the environmen­t. It' a matter of survival.
