•Amazon Finally Ditches Plastic Air Pillows, but Environmentalists Say Itâs Not Enough
82% Informative
Amazon has eliminated plastic air pillows from its global network of warehouse and distribution facilities.
Oceana , a nonprofit ocean advocacy group, has dogged Amazon for several years over its use of plastics.
Amazon continues to use tens of thousands of tons of plastic every year in other forms of packaging.
Amazon says it aims to ship products in their original packaging rather than adding Amazon -branded sleeves, bags, boxes, and padding.
As of December of last year , Amazon was shipping one-third of its sales in North America without any additional packaging.
Amazon also owns Whole Foods , where entire aisles of products are sold in flimsy plastic packaging that is virtually impossible to recycle.
