Amazon and Walmart's Flipkart Pledge To Scrap Single-Use Plastic Packaging in India
Amazon India and Walmart's Flipkart, two of the largest e-commerce businesses in India, have pledged to curb the usage of single-use plastic in their packaging in the country as they move to help New Delhi fight its ongoing battle with environmental pollution. From a report: Amazon said on Wednesday it will replace all single-use plastic in its packaging by June 2020 with paper cushions. The move follows Flipkart's announcement last week when it said it had already cut its reliance on single-use plastic by 25% and intended to move entirely to recycled plastic consumption in its supply chain by March 2021. Amazon said it will use paper cushions to replace plastic dunnage like air pillows and bubble wraps across its fulfillment centers in India. India generates nearly 26,000 tonnes of plastic waste every day, which makes it the 15th biggest plastic polluter globally.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
