I would have thought that loose fill was theoretically more
environmentally friendly, because you can re-use it, whereas businesses
won't normally re-use padded envelope, and their composite structure
means you cannot economically separate the plastic and paper components
for recycling.

I suspect a lot of loose fill is wasted, because there tend to be net
consumers and net users and there isn't a mechanism to get it back from
consumer to user.

They can do, as I got some missing parts that way.
