US e-commerce giant\u00a0Amazon<\/a> has rolled out a new packaging design for its electronic devices, boasting that it is 100% recyclable.<\/p>\n

The revamped packaging, which began distribution this October, marks a departure from traditional plastic wraps and laminations in favour of a water-based coating that ensures the box remains intact during shipping.<\/p>\n

The interior of the box has also seen a transformation, with Amazon substituting plastic bags with paper-based wraps that are conducive to paper recycling processes.<\/p>\n

This shift aligns with the company\u2019s goal to decarbonise its transportation network and adhere to The Climate Pledge, aiming for net-zero carbon by 2040.<\/p>\n

Amazon has also optimised its packaging to be more compact, enabling increased efficiency in transporting more products per pallet.<\/p>\n

The company is also transitioning towards utilising ocean shipping over air transport, noting that the former can reduce emissions by an average of 95%.<\/p>\n
