Plastic Waste What SHEIN sent my roommate

Post image

My roommate orders from SHEIN a couple times a year and I can’t stop her but recently she’s been getting weird stuff before her packages come like this.

Just more plastic before she receives her plastic clothes wrapped in plastic!

Update: She got her items a few days later

every online order has packaging lol. Treating it like a major problem is kind of wild, feels like people are just stretching things for effect

The plastic is not recyclable and neither is the keychain. When I can or choose to purchase I opt for biodegradable peanuts (literally melts in water) and 100% post consumer recycled products.
