Has anyone else tried breaking down (for recycling) the box from an Apple Studio Display?
Apple has ditched plastic/foam padding (good) but replaced it with the Cardboard From Hell—box is heavier than the monitor it contains, layers of laminated cardboard glued together in 2-3cm thick blocks to absorb impacts, smaller boxes inside larger boxes to fill surplus volume, all glued in place!
Chopping it up is a nightmare, really needed an electric hacksaw instead of a box-cutter.
