Amazon has announced they’re ditching the “air pillow” packing material they’ve been using for years.

Instead, they’ll use recycled paper because it’s better for the environment and actually offers better protection for most products.

They actually started transitioning away from the air pillows in October and say they’ve already cut their usage by 95% in North America. That’s why you’ve seen more paper packaging in your Amazon boxes. They’re aiming to completely transition away from air pillows by the end of the year. They’d been using around 15 billion of them annually.
