EXCELLENT idea, Dave! I work for the CA Department of Conservation and
we have a big Division of Recycling. Mind if I forward your idea on
through channels? They are always looking for cool recycling ideas!

Want to help the planet by cutting waste and 
save on packing material?
Most plastic soda and water bottles have an air-tight cap
and are made of tough plastic.  If you leave them open
to dry (or just shake the drops out) and tighten the cap down,
they make excellent "shock absorbers" and packing fillers.
The trapped air makes one tough "bumper" for your radios
and it won't scratch the finish.  Put as many as you can around 
the item and backfill with packing to hold them in place.
I've been using them to cushion shipments all over the world
for some time and they work well.  
Note that a few cheap water bottles are too thin.  
Put the cap on and bang on it to see if it's 
tough enough and isn't leaking air.
