Walmart trying to reduce packaging waste.

Apparently Walmart is trying to do some good to reduce the material used in overpackaged products.
I actually do own something to make opening packages easier, and I haven’t bled since buying it.
I’m guessing this is less a case of a Walmart board meeting with the agenda “How can we help the environment?” and more the case of a Walmart board meeting with the agenda “What are we already trying to do that happens to help the environment?”
Walmart ships bazillions of cubic whatevers of goods around. If they can cut down on the size of the packaging, they can ship more product in less space.
I’m not saying it’s not good, I’m just saying let’s not kid ourselves about their motivations.
