Hamm – Amazon has announced a change in orders that will affect all customers. The shipping giant now wants to omit a crucial detail from its packages.
New packaging at Amazon: package orders are changing
The company is trying to reduce plastic in its packages. Customers from Germany will therefore soon no longer receive items that are packed with plastic air cushions, the company announced in a press release, reports wa.de.
Not only Amazon's own packages are to become plastic-free, but also the items from companies that ship their products via Amazon (Fulfillment by Amazon). The items will be wrapped in wrapping paper that Amazon promises is 100 percent recycled and recyclable.
However, Amazon does not want to completely do without the additional packaging for its orders, so that the goods are protected in the package and do not move.
This innovation also does not apply to third-party providers who sell independently of the mail order company via the Amazon Marketplace. These companies are encouraged by the conglomerate to use more sustainable packaging.
