USA TODAY is changing how it boxes packages, swapping out plastic air pillows with recycled paper, a move the company says is more eco-friendly and will provide just as much protection, "if not better." The change, , is part of a multi-year plan to remove plastic delivery packaging from fulfillment centers in North America. The company says replacing the roughly 15 billion plastic air pillows used every year with recycled paper is the "largest reduction in plastic packaging in North America to date." Amazon aims to “fully remove” plastic air pillows in packages by the end of the year, according to Pat Lindner, vice president of mechatronics and sustainable packaging. He adds that most, if not all, packages ordered and delivered on Prime Day in July will be packed with paper filler. "We want to ensure that customers receive their items undamaged, while using as little packaging as possible to avoid waste, and prioritizing recyclable materials," Amazon said in a news release.
