06 Jan 2022 --- Amazon is reducing packaging waste at scale with several artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. A combination of deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision is helping the e-commerce giant determine the right amount of packaging for each product. Over the past six years, these tools have reportedly helped Amazon reduce per-shipment packaging weight by 36% and eliminate more than a million tons of packaging, equivalent to more than 2 billion shipping boxes. The technologies are currently being applied to North American and European product lines.
