In an effort to reduce its carbon footprint, Walmart has switched to plastic mailers for delivery orders. The retail chain cut over 2,000 tons of plastic. Walmart also stated that it is trying to eliminate around 65 million plastic bag mailers from circulation in the states.
It is also planning to offer customers new waste-reducing options across delivery and pick-up. Other implementations include right-sizing cardboard box packaging, which will allow customers the option to consolidate shipping on online orders. S
Shoppers will also be able to opt out of single-use plastic bags for pick up according to the Walmart statement.
