Amazon introducing new policy to cut waste after ITV News investigation | ITV News
Amazon has announced new policy changes in an attempt to cut its waste after an ITV News investigation discovered the world’s largest online retailer was destroying millions of items of unsold stock that is often new and unused.
From laptops and smart TVs to hairdryers and books, undercover filming revealed the true extent of the waste at one of Amazon’s fulfilment centres in Dunfermline.
Some of the products were unopened and still in their original packaging, and the rest were in good condition.
ITV News found the products were loaded onto lorries and dumped at either recycling centres or a waste disposal centre which has a landfill site.
Amazon has told ITV News that the landfill site also has a recycling centre and that none of their items go to landfill in the UK.
