From what I recall when we had it, it was a lot less trash than going to the store and getting everything packaged individually. And I'm sure the shipping is less polluting than having all the customers drive around too.

Grocery delivery is a thing, though.
And there's a different kind of waste that is reduced by BA. Every week my wife and I would have to throw out unused produce that didn't divide evenly into our meals, and it is pretty significant unless you're an expert at meal planning. There is zero food waste with BA...
If you're wasting food that often then perhaps adjustments are necessary.
>There is zero food waste with BA
Is there a citation for that very strong claim? Zero waste would require perfectly timed and sized resource allocation through their entire pipeline.
But all the stuff Blue Apron sends you is individually packaged (down to stuff like a single green onion in a bag)...
