Just saw this post because of a link, so sorry to revive a dead thread. But I've been thinking a lot recently about how whoever comes up with a logistically workable reusable shipping box system is going to make a fuckload of money once carbon cap and trade is a thing. Basically they'd be manufacturing CO2 credits. Tesla sells their ZeV credits to FCA and already makes a lot of money off it. It's going to be a growth business, but I thin it will take a shitload of capital up front, so probably only Amazon can pull it off.
