Amazon replaces plastic air pillows with paper for delivery packaging in North America

Amazon has replaced 95% of the plastic air pillows from delivery packaging in North America with paper filler, and aims fully remove these by the end of the year.

The e-commerce giant said it is ‘constantly inventing and thinking big to make our packaging small’, and wants to use as little packaging as possible to’ avoid waste, and prioritizing recyclable materials’.

This is part of Amazon’s path to avoid and reduce packaging, a multi-year effort to remove plastic delivery packaging from North America fulfillment centres.

It will avoid nearly 15 billion plastic air pillows annually.

Pat Lindner, VP of mechatronics and sustainable packaging, said: “I’m proud of the cross-Amazon collaboration to make a positive impact on the customer delivery experience with easier to recycle materials. It’s a great example of how we thoughtfully test and scale new solutions to protect our customer experience. We are working towards full removal in North America by end of year and will continue to innovate, test, and scale in order to prioritize curbside recyclable materials.”
