Amazon India Plans To Scrap Single-Use Plastic
Amazon.com Inc’s India unit plans to replace single-use plastic in its packaging by June 2020, the company said on Wednesday, the latest move by an ecommerce giant to weed out plastic use from the country’s cities and towns that frequently rank among the world’s most polluted.
The announcements come just weeks ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s expected move to announce plans scrapping the use of certain varieties of plastic by 2022.
Amazon India will roll out paper packing material across the country by the end of 2019, its vice president of customer fulfilment, Akhil Saxena, said on a call.
