Amazon Doing More Harm than Just Waste

by Brian Yalung on Saturday, August 9th, 2008

Packaging is perhaps one of the most controversial practices as far as doing business today is concerned. We have seen a lot of companies vying to make eco-friendly moves. One company, Amazon, is being chided for its manner of packaging in delivering goods to its customers.

“To make matters worse, the books Amazon sent were not the correct books,” the site says. “Many of these examples of excessive packaging occur because of issues with communication and packaging logistics. Ordering systems may process orders of multiple items individually and generate packaging as if the orders were going to multiple locations.”

Being an online selling site, Amazon is in a different category. However, they would be wise to check out how courier companies such as DHL have renovated their manner of packaging.

  • I always noticed that when I bought stuff from amazon. It just doesn't make sense that they put a box into another box. This is great to know and hopefully Amazon takes these suggestions to improve their packaging methods.
