Amazon India has taken severalsteps to achieve complete elimination of single-use plastic in its ownfulfilment network. The first milestone towards this goalwas achieved in December 2019 when the company replaced plastic packaging material, such as bubble wraps and air pillows, with ‘paper cushion’in its packaging.The company thenintroduced 100% plastic-free and biodegradable paper tape earlier this year, whichis used to seal and secure customer shipments. Additionally, the company has replaced thin cling films for customer deliveries among other materialwith packaging options that are not single-use plastic in nature.All other plastic packaging material originating from the Amazon Fulfilment Centers is 100% recyclable through available collection, segregation and recycling channels.Amazon India continues to educate sellers, who directly fulfil customer orders, to join in this directional change in packaging.
