Amazon's US plastic packaging waste increased by 10% to 208 million pounds in 2022, according to Oceana.
Environmental group Oceana has reported that Amazon's plastic packaging waste in the US increased by nearly 10% in 2022, reaching 208 million pounds, despite global claims of cutting down on plastic use.
