Amazon India scraps single-use plastic at fulfilment centres

BENGALURU: Amazon India said it had successfully eliminated single-use plastics in the packaging of goods at its fulfilment centres across the country, sticking to a commitment made nine months ago to replace all packaging material with reusable or recyclable materials.

The company has replaced bubble wrap and plastic pillows with paper dunnage and biodegradable paper tape, and is also urging sellers on its platform who directly ship products to consumers to adopt its sustainable packaging practices. It has also stopped the use of cling film in packaging products.
