kudos
when i worked for the army we were screenign down a project to do that with some of their operations
I am happy to see others doing it
however some of the not seens are if the supplier cant reuse the container they shipped the parts to you in, then you make them take the empties back and they dispose of em, this leaves you trashless.

but most suppliers and users have figured out out to make things work both ways so its a win in the zero landfill area

either way its good.

we as end users should aim for such zero landfill
