A global fashion brand pairs sustainability and growth.
The fashion industry exploded over the past two decades. Garment production has doubled since 2000, and plastics use has multiplied along with it.

On the positive side, Amazon's focus on renewable energy and waste reduction initiatives has led to the reduction of its carbon footprint. Additionally, Amazon has invested in electric delivery vehicles, reducing emissions from its logistics operations. However, Amazon's reliance on single-use packaging and its large-scale logistics operations have a negative impact on the environment. Amazon has been criticised for its excessive use of plastic packaging, which contributes to plastic waste in landfills and oceans. Therefore, Amazon must continue to prioritise sustainability in its operations to ensure that its environmental impact is reduced. In addition to the points mentioned, it is important to note that Amazon's overall impact on the environment goes beyond just its direct operations. As one of the largest online retailers in the world, Amazon has a significant…arrow_forwardColgate® Launches its Groundbreaking Recyclable Toothpaste Tube with "Recycle Me!" Packaging in the U.S. Colgate is rolling out its breakthrough recyclable tube in the U.S. and using a bold message on its package to help get the word out. Colgate-Palmolive's tube, the first to be recognized by external recycling authorities as recyclable, is made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), the same No. 2 plastic used for milk and detergent bottles. Recycling the tube alongside plastic bottles requires no extra steps -- no rinsing, cutting or cleaning before tossing it into a recycling bin. But making a toothpaste tube that is recyclable is only half the battle. Traditionally, since most of the world's toothpaste tubes are made with a mix of materials, they have not been recycled. Globally, that adds up to 20 billion toothpaste tubes a year that are tossed in the trash. To alert shoppers that the Colgate tube is now recyclable, Colgate is bringing it out in a "Recycle Me!" tube. The bold,…arrow_forward
