There's another point worth noting.
If this ever makes it to mass production, I'm reasonably sure the
factory won't be using recycled packing peanuts salvaged from Amazon
orders. Instead, the factories will get deliveries of
newly-manufactured polystyrene (or whatever) to use as feedstock,
pre-formed into whatever shape is the best fit for the machinery.
There's just too much chance of contamination from consumer-recycled
packaging materials to risk damaging a high-energy electronics assembly
line. Imagine, for example, a cat who thought the box with the
packaging materials would make a great litterbox, and somebody
"helpfully" still sending it to recycling....
