BENGALURU: Amazon India, on September 4, said that they will replace all single-use plastic product used in its product packaging by June 2020 with paper cushions. The decision by company came after Prime Minister Narendra’s Modi’s Independence day speech on banning single-use plastic products like bags, cups and straws.
After Air India, Amazon become the latest major company in the country to join the fight against plastic pollution.
According to Amazon, to combat pollution caused by single-use plastic, they will be using environmental friendly packaging materials which will be entirely recyclable. Amazon has often been criticised for using too much plastic and thermocol to wrap its billions of packages of shipments.
Earlier this week Flipkart also made the announcement of reducing its single-use plastic used in packaging by 25 per cent and plans to move entirely to recycled plastic consumption in its own supply chain by March 2021.
