This new Amazon packaging is headed to the UK market as part of the eCommerce brand's commitment to reducing unnecessary packaging usage, while also curbing plastic use as well.
The packaging is characterized by its 100% recyclable profile that's paper-made and infused with a paper-based lining to provide impressive absorbency against shocks. The packaging is suitable for being recycled curbside to make it as easy as possible for consumers to recycle it after use. The packaging is also reported to have a low weight profile and was developed in collaboration with Mondi to ensure the utmost attention to a high-quality final product.
European Head of Sustainable Packaging for Amazon Thais Blumer spoke on the new Amazon packaging saying, "Amazon stopped using traditional bubble-wrap padded envelopes in Europe several years ago, which presented a challenge to develop light, flexible and fully recyclable paper packaging that provides the same protection. Achieving both low weight and maximum protection with a 100% recyclable paper envelope was not an easy task, but these envelopes are easy to pack, simple for customers to recycle at home, and enable damage-free deliveries."
