You are absolutely right. But there is something wrong with overstating the degree to which the company is reducing its impact as a way to dupe consumers into thinking they are virtuous and have the effects on the environment as a major priority.
Making your unsustainable packaging 25% less unsustainable is laughable. It's still unsustainable.
@ ameratsu. It's not a bad thing per se (unless discs start getting all scratched up). However, the fact that it isn't a particularly good thing (environmentally speaking), but it's being promoted as such (rather than the simple truth behind the decision being put forward that it is a cheaper thing) makes it a rather dodgy thing.
