19 Nov 2021 --- Amazon in France has announced it will stop packaging items in single-use plastic sleeves by the end of the year. Customers will now receive their items in flexible paper sleeves or cardboard envelopes, which are recycled more easily by waste collection and treatment services. The change applies to all small items shipped from Amazon fulfillment centers in France, whether sold directly by Amazon or by third-party sellers who use its logistics network. Customers will continue to receive larger orders in cardboard packages.
