Amazon is introducing bio-based delivery bags in Spain as part of its efforts to reduce its use of plastic bags, which have negative environmental impacts. The new bags, produced by Italian company Novamont, are made from renewable, food-safe materials like corn starch and vegetable oils. They are durable, weather-resistant, and food-safe, and do not compromise on usability. The bags are a promising alternative to traditional plastic bags, which are made from petroleum and contribute to climate change, pollution, and harm to communities. By switching to bio-based bags, Amazon can reduce its carbon footprint and help prevent microplastics from entering water sources and causing damage from extreme weather events. The company’s goal is to make sustainable choices that benefit both humans and the environment, and it is making progress towards this goal with the rollout of these new bags.
A seismic shift in Amazon’s packaging strategy is set to send ripples through the industry, and this could impact your next delivery in a big way.
