Amazon has replaced plastic air pillows with crumpled paper in its packaging worldwide
Amazon has spent years working toward the goal of removing plastic delivery packaging from fulfillment centers and focusing on using recycled materials.
Amazon says it has reached its goal of eliminating plastic air pillows from its warehouses and distribution facilities globally. The familiar packaging has now been replaced with paper filler, which the company says is not only better for the environment, but also offers the same, if not better, protection for fragile goods.
Amazon has spent years working toward the goal of removing plastic delivery packaging from fulfillment centers and focusing on using recycled materials. In June, it announced that it had reduced the use of plastic air pillows in its packages by 95% in North America as it switches to crumpled paper. Amazon had already eliminated the pillows across its European facilities in 2022, in Australia in 2021, and in India in 2020.
