Plastic Waste
tube.tchncs.de
Pour one out in honor of the pitiable techs who'll be doing this unboxing "project". Plastic and paperboard waste shown per individual package, ignoring additional 20-pack packaging, and palleting. To name and shame, this is the DUX case by STM. All added in case it was sold retail rather than in bulk, to trick the consumer into thinking they're considering something substantial (they aren't) or bought something high quality (they didn't).

      They’re hard shell cases for laptops like the one in the first seconds of the clip. Insurance required this bare-minimum protection for the laptop fleet upgrade, before deploying the laptops. The cases are not available in bulk packaging, so they are all being removed from their full retail packaging.

    Why even bother with the cases… those laptops will be completely wrecked anyway if they are given away to students for free.
