So even more uses for the paper that we can't get.

Maybe... mills apparently are dedicating more paper-making machines/machine time to running brown or kraft paper used in packaging. The end result is less capacity for graphic arts papers.

"Traditional" plastic-based fill pillows? Geez, I am old. Even foam packing peanuts look like a modern innovation to me. With changes in the publishing world, there are no longer enough sources to generate the ultimate reusable/recyclable fill: yesterday's newspaper.

Question about this slit-paper fill: What does it weigh compared to plastic pillows? And what is the carbon impact of increased weight to transport? (I am also such a killjoy ...)

Amazon is still a big user of these plastic pillows.
