As a long time seller on eBay, I have been using 100% biodegradable packing peanuts made from starch. If the buyer wishes to dispose of them, they can simply toss them in their garden and wet them with a garden hose. They completely melt and disappear! They cost a bit more than styrofoam peanuts, but they keep everyone happy and do a good job of protecting fragile items.
