The online retail giant, Amazon, has announced a significant shift in their packaging strategy. Starting soon, they will completely replace plastic air pillows with recycled paper filler for all North American deliveries. This initiative is touted as the “largest plastic package reduction effort in North America.” According to Amazon, this change is poised to eliminate nearly 15 billion plastic air pillows annually.

Amazon has already made considerable strides in this direction, having replaced approximately 95% of plastic air pillows from their delivery packaging. They are determined to achieve full removal by the end of the year.
These changes not only reflect Amazon’s commitment to sustainability but also signal a broader industry trend towards eco-friendly packaging solutions. Stay tuned for more updates as Amazon continues to innovate and lead the way in sustainable practices.
For those interested in the technical details and logistics, the changes are being implemented across various delivery stations, including their Saginaw County delivery station located at 3280 Commerce Centre Drive in Buena Vista Township.
