I do re-use those packing peanuts because if I do not they will pile up from the packages I receive. I believe Elecraft does the same thing. Yes, those white ones will almost jump out of the package and stick to most anything. Normally the 'goodies' in the box are wrapped in some kind of plastic or bubble wrap (or in the case of Elecraft kits, smaller boxes) If you reach in and extract the enclosed items you can normally pick up the box and dump (brush) the packing peanuts into a garbage bag or other container.

Be cautious about what you are packing when using those large air-filled bags. They work fine for lightweight items, but for heavy items like a radio, those air bags often get compressed and burst allowing the heavier objects to move around in the shipping carton - a recipe for damage.

Yes, there FAR better options. My favorite is bubble wrap, which I save and re-use. The bags of air work well for some kinds of products.
