网上购物亚马逊：
亚马逊在2019年生产了超过21万吨塑料包装。
Oceana汇总了一份“亚马逊估计约有10,000吨流入海河的报告”。

根据该报告，亚马逊交付的大部分塑料废物都是由缓冲材料（例如气垫和气泡纸）组成的。
大洋洲估计：
亚马逊仅在2019年就发货了约70亿个包裹。
通过连接用过的气垫，它足以将地球缠绕500次。
Oceana指出，随着亚马逊扩展其全球业务，其塑料足迹也将扩大。

Opting Out: Amazon shoppers would choose plastic-free packaging if they had a choice
If convenience is what you value most in a shopping experience, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better outlet than Amazon.
With millions of products, fresh groceries, and same-day delivery right to your doorstep,
it’s no wonder that Amazon has become the world’s largest online retailer, delivering 7 billion packages last year alone.
That is roughly one package for every person on the planet – but unfortunately, many of these deliveries come with a side of plastic.
According to a new Oceana report based on available industry data and the company’s market share by country,
Amazon generated an estimated 465 million pounds (211 million kilograms) of plastic packaging in 2019.
Imagine, for a moment, that all of that trash took the form of inflatable “air pillows,” which are increasingly replacing bubble wrap.
It would create a plastic trail long enough to circle the Earth 500 times.
The company disputes these and other figures but has not yet provided Oceana with alternative data or specific estimates – by country – detailing the plastic footprint generated by Amazon and its marketplace vendors.
In the meantime, Amazon customers
are left pondering, ‘What will happen to all of this plastic packaging left behind?’
Essentially none of those plastic bags, bubble-lined mailers, or air pillows are recycled – at least not in any practical sense.
Most curbside recycling programs don’t accept this kind of plastic and, worse yet, if it’s mistakenly placed in a recycling bin it could contaminate other types of plastic waste that otherwise would have been recycled.
