Over 50% of Amazon deliveries now come with less packaging
Since 2015 Amazon's packaging reduction programmes have helped avoid the use of more than 4 million metric tons of packaging material. We use machine learning, materials innovation, and supplier partnerships to optimize our packaging. This leads to reduced waste and reduced weight, which ultimately helps reduce our carbon emissions. We’re also increasing the recyclability of our packaging for easy curbside recycling for our customers.
Our Ships In Product Packaging (SIPP) program is just one example of how we reduce waste through packaging design and innovation. Through SIPP, eligible items are delivered in the original manufacturer’s packaging without additional Amazon packaging. This allows us to avoid unnecessary packaging and reduce the weight of deliveries.
These innovations have lead to 12% of Amazon packages globally being shipped without additional packaging as part of the Ships in Product Packaging program, 50% of shipments were delivered in lighter, flexible packaging and 38% of shipments were delivered in corrugated boxes.
For more information on packaging innovation please see our Sustainability Report.
