Trackers have been found in Amazon packaging, revealing what really happens to our packages. This is too concerning to not take action. It's time to demand better from elected officials and vote with our dollars by purchasing from companies that support our mission to reduce waste, not lie about it.

I was recently working on the Case Study Analysis for #Amazon. 🌍 Amazon's Green Goal: A Path to Carbon/Plastic Neutrality 🌍 Amazon aims to become carbon and plastic neutral, but a significant portion of their packaging still involves plastic or cardboard boxes. Inspired by innovative solutions like Recykal, I've developed a case study that proposes a cost-effective and scalable system to collect packaging waste from customers residing in residential societies. 🔄 The case study includes: Detailed Wireframes: https://lnkd.in/gxHRtFy9 Comprehensive Solution: https://lnkd.in/grTG7XkF Imagine a future where: Customers can easily return their used packaging. Collection points are conveniently located in residential complexes. A seamless process ensures packaging is reused or recycled efficiently. Together, we can contribute to a sustainable future by supporting initiatives that reduce waste and promote recycling. Let's innovate and take steps towards a greener planet! 🌱♻️ #Sustainability #Innovation #Amazon #Recycling #GreenFuture #CircularEconomy #CaseStudy

Amazon is contributing big-time to a greener future! Let's discuss how they've led the charge in sustainable packaging so far: 🌍 Since 2015, they've cut per-shipment packaging weight by 41%—that's over 2 million tons of packaging saved, equivalent to 173 Seattle Space Needles! 🔄 In 2022 alone, they reduced single-use plastic delivery packaging by 11.6% globally and shipped 11% of orders without additional packaging. ♻️ In Europe and India, they've swapped single-use plastics for 100% recyclable paper and cardboard. And, to achieve these milestones, they have incorporated these practices: -Minimising excess packaging -Expanding the use of paper packaging -Optimising packaging sizes  As a manufacturer of sustainable packaging solutions, KIG Kraft Tech Containers Pvt Ltd core values align with Amazon's approach to building a sustainable environment. The progress made by Amazon in optimising packaging practices sheds light on the importance of collaboration across industries in driving sustainability forward. 🤝Let's join hands, as together, we can make a difference!

Good Filling wasn't born in a Silicon Valley boardroom. It began with a simple hope and ambition to end our throw-away culture. As a consumer, our founder Petros Palandjian felt powerless in making a meaningful impact. ⬇️ He was discouraged that most people didn’t think twice about the waste generated each time they bought a virgin bottle of product or had it delivered by Amazon. After the frustration came the realization: If refilling was as easy as e-commerce, more people would prevent more plastics from entering the waste stream. Petros set out to make a refill service that’s convenient and scalable. What started as a local bottle return and refill program has now expanded to patent-pending technology that provides people and brands with a complete solution to packaging waste. One that is convenient, sustainable, and affordable, on-demand, all day, every day. We're coming up on four years of our journey, and can't wait to see what the rest of 2024 has in store for us. If you've been following along since the start or are just seeing us now—let's connect and take on packaging waste together! #PackagingSolutions #Circularity #CircularEconomy #WasteReduction #PackagingWaste #SustainableBusiness

Thank you Richard Lenihan for posting this. I have been asking people to bring it down to home and make it personal. Keep a diary for a week, 2 days, or even a day of how many pieces of disposable plastic you come into contact with. I haven't had a single person to do it. I started this 12 months ago. Then The Wall Street Journal held a sustainability / ESG / ecology slack-a-thon event. I proposed the challenge and was politely told that the venue wasn't intended for such a thing. Yet a bunch of attendees were supportive. The issue with plastic isn't plastic, it's us. It's humans. We are lazy. Without federal regulation on waste management at the state level, there is nothing to support a solution. Waste regulations are operated like DOT regulations. There are federal regulations and then there are state DOT regulations. Each state is different. There is zero common ground. Waste management is even worse. My family was in the waste business for a while. I watch 50-100 boxes delivered daily in my small neighborhood. That cardboard is 100% recyclable and will actually get used 100%. Plastic is also very recyclable, but there is so much of it there is a huge surplus. So some of it sits around or ends up in a landfill. We're lazy. The idea of sorting out our trash is beneath us. Imagine trying to get us to recycle food like the S. Koreans. 🤣 bwahahahahaha. #wastemanagement #plasticpollution #plasticrecycling
