Amazon Eliminates Plastic Air Pillows in Packaging
TL;DR Summary
Amazon is set to eliminate plastic air pillows from its North American delivery packaging by the end of the year, replacing them with 100% recycled paper filler. This change will remove nearly 15 billion plastic air pillows annually. Despite progress in other regions, Amazon has been slower to transition to paper packaging in the US. Conservation group Oceana acknowledges the improvement but urges Amazon to further reduce single-use plastic packaging globally.
