Yes, I suspect that it is the processing that racks up the cost.
The best way to reduce that is to reduce the amount of trash we produce. Everything seems to be wrapped, double-wrapped then triple-wrapped "for our convenience" but it's all adding to your monthly trash bill (not to mention adding to the initial cost of the item being purchased).
Most people won't want to be bothered with changing their habits but, with very little effort, you can find ways to reduce packaging and other trash.
