Yes.
It's called stop buying electronic products.
It is easier to to recycle/reuse styrofoam & plastic, than it is to recycle electronics (and less damaging to make in the first place.)
Don't be so quick to blame manufacturers when they are only selling you what you want.

Why? These materials are recycled over many times. They are lightweight, saving on fuel, and protect the product.

They package them like that so you don't end up buying a broken product.

Why would you want to do this and what would you suggest as an alternative. I don't want my products damaged in shipping.
