As of today, packing peanuts made of expanded polystyrene foam are now banned in Washington state! 🎉Packing peanuts are not readily recyclable and end up in our landfills, waste incinerators, and our environment. We will not miss you, packing peanuts. 🫡 #PlasticFreeWA

@amazon @EnvAm @uspirg @EnviroAction Our petition delivery today is 1 week before an anticipated vote on a shareholder resolution filed by @AsYouSow, which would require @amazon to disclose how much platic packaging it uses, and make a plan for how to reduce this. Proud to partner with @oceana on this campaign!

[Pam Clough @pams_jams]

Delivered 41,569 more petition signatures to @amazon today from @EnvAm @uspirg and @EnviroAction. Our ask: reduce the amount of single-use packaging. Amazon has eliminated single-use packaging in Europe & India based fulfillment centers, so let's do it in the U.S.
