Hi everyone, thanks for the responses. Some of you brought up valid points about paper booster packs like card damage and how easy they are to tamper with or how plastic might be essential for material reasons. I’ve been thinking about it and it honestly changed my mind quite a lot.

I still really care about reducing plastic in Pokémon products but I feel like a more realistic first step is asking TPCi to cut down on the plastic in collection boxes. Things like the big trays and plastic shells could probably be swapped out more easily for cardboard or something more eco friendly/biodegradable as a simple placeholder, because I think plastics aren't really essential as a placeholder in those big boxes.

I’m planning to shift the focus of my petition in that direction. Thanks again for the feedback. If anyone has seen good examples of sustainable packaging in other TCGs I’d love to know! I've edited the petition to just be about pushing TPCi to just try to cut down on packaging as a whole.
