How much extra packaging are you introducing with many small orders vs bulk orders?

Food shops in the UK can deliver without any bags at all for example. A single bottle of something from Amazon for instance will likely come in a cardboard box with some kind of plastic bubble wrap.

And is it really true that the driver is going to have items to delivery to almost every block of houses every day? Not everyone is shopping from the same retailer either.

My apartment literally has Amazon drivers coming twice a day with a cart full of packages
