The three packaging options are being touted as easy to open and recyclable at home in all of Amazon\u2019s European markets. These changes will apply to orders shipped from Amazon\u2019s own warehouses and also to those being sent via third parties through the Fulfilment by Amazon platform.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon highlighted that these changes will not detract from its ongoing work to ship products in their boxes without any additional packaging. Over the past year, the number of products provided in \u2018ship in container\u2019 formats increased by 50%. These changes, combined, mean that Amazon has mitigated the use of more than a billion single-use plastic delivery bags from its European distribution since 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon emphasised, in announcing packaging changes, its desire to use less packaging overall \u2013 regardless of the material. The company is using machine learning solutions to assess product weight and size, thus determining which products are suitable for paper bags or cardboard envelopes instead of boxes. The solutions also ensure that oversized packaging is not used. Over the past five years, these algorithms have reduced the use of cardboard boxes by some 35%. A paper bag can be up to 90% lighter than a box capable of holding similar-sized products.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/amazon-ends-use-of-non-recyclable-packaging-in-europe\/\">Edie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-432\/\">Amazon ends use of non-recyclable packaging in Europe<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1177,575,696,829],"class_list":["post-118802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-amazon","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-europe","tag-packaging"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118802\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
