From polystyrene peanuts to non-recyclable bubble wrap to plastic-wrapped pouches of air, almost every Amazon order arrives wrapped in plastic packaging that is then thrown away or littered.
A recent report by Oceana found that Amazon generated a staggering 599 million pounds of plastic packaging waste in 2020 - a 29% increase over 2019.
They estimate that more than 23.5 million pounds of Amazon's plastic packaging waste is now polluting the world’s oceans and waterways.
Consider adding your name to a growing petition asking Amazon to STOP polluting our planet with single-use plastic packaging.
