Cardboard boxes are a really big deal in the U.S. Amazon alone shipped over 5 billion packages through Prime in 2017. But as Amazon moves to plastic mailers and paper mailers the corrugated box market is bracing for the fallout.
There are other players in the space but today the four big cardboard box manufacturers that dominate the market are International Paper, WestRock, Packaging Corporation of America and Georgia-Pacific.

The Business Of Amazon Shipping Boxes
source
All the workers do not look happy…
This is a lie: not long ago, I ordered from amazon 4 items that may not need packing. They would have fitted in one box. I got four big boxes with lots of bubble wrap, one per item…
I do not like online shopping, but we are forced to do so. Stores have less items than they used to. If you ask for something or for a different size, the salespeople are trained to answer: go online, there are more options online…
Been working on a corrugator for 3.5 years with Georgia pacific and yes Amazon is by far the biggest customer
Nice😊

You want to cut on carbon footprint quit sending small items on huge boxes, it doesn't make sense
I order bottled water from Amazon and insist they double box it and pad it with bubble wrap. I'm doing my part to destroy this planet before I go. 😁
I can't believe I justed watched a 16 minute video about boxes and enjoyed it
Reminds me of Simpsons episode when the kids visit the box factory.
For the commodities must get supplied but there is no need for human to travel this much
I do
Unless there’s a pandemic, then the growth will skyrocket….. oh yeah, that happened.
Amazon isn't kind to the workers who actually do something besides sit in a office. I've never supported them.
Why does he pronounce it Aymayzon?

Oh my god this video just keeps saying the same thing over and over. Could have been a 5 minute video.
There was a service Anthony shrsder signed up p in my name that had my name in boxes that cost lives of children abd women he hated. Btw.
If they really cared about the environment they use boxes. That bs about the plastic being as recyclable as paper is nonsense. I work in a paper mill with an on-site recycling plant. All the plastic is in such bad shape it all gets haunt to a landfill. All we recycle is a small amount of drink bottles. Cardboard is way easier to recycle.
The world can't afford the indirect costs of buying from Amazon. I buy local and help create local jobs.

is there a disaster coming for amazon cardboard boxes?

The shipping tape is so cheap that boxes sometimes leave boxes half open.
I've been wondering for years why they don't do some type of return program. Like for every reusable box it would credit your Amazon account like 20 cents

Amazon is a ruse! They are cheap infiltrators! Take a deep look on how the make their money.
Most of it is by fraud. They cheat the customer by misrepresenting their products by not allowing true reviews. They only allow positive ones . If you tell the truth and make a negative review it will be censored , you will be censored if you continue , until the block you form making any reviews! …….but they will still take your money!
When you order more than one item, they package each in separate packages to soak you for more money. Each and every purchase has been a disappointment ! They treat their workers as the treat their customers and sellers…..like expendable product!
People , wake up ! WE do not need companies like these!
They are not looking out for our best interests!
75% of all recycled material (plastic and paper) are not reused by manufacturers due to the costs and labour involved in reducing the waste products generated. So, still seeing a lot of recycled material going straight to the garbage dumps or city incinerators, in fact 25% of all recycled products.
Don't forget to confiscate my mom's iPhone as part of the investigation.
I just watched a video about boxes. What I’m I doing with my life
9:52 Pictures of workers sad faces
IF THIS DOC is about 5% of all boxes in AMERICA,,,, give us the DOCUMENTARY about the 95% fully
AND YOU>>>> WHONDER WHY THERE ARE NO FOREST FIRES THE MIDDLE EAST AND ASIA… but WE HAVE ALOT!
i think of frustration free packaging as not using the clamshells made of the same kind of plastic that soda bottles are made from requiring a knife to open
or using packaging with zipper seams or punch out seams that can be opened rather easy.
i am talking about the boxes that small electronics come in.
and for small products like packs of stickers instead of plastic bags they should use small media envelopes witch are much easier to recycle and can be rolled or folded to fit in mail boxes.
such as the envelope that is being scanned at 9:14
the plastic mailers are worse because the plastic is not as easy to recycle and clog up the insides of animals that eat them and go into the worlds garbage patches in the oceans.
I’m a Ups Driver and from experience these boxes are not the best, they get damage so easy and the tape Amazon uses is the worst! They only put one strip of tape for any box or weight and half of the time I’m re taping it
We have to start using better material to ship. Maybe Amazon should start a recycling ♻️ company
R E A L T A L K 🙂 !
well does it degrades then doing good i think awesome
built a better box which i give them praise for it we need better boxes no big deal there great
well i like these amazon people to a tee . i think there great if you ask me there doing fine they dont like the people who make the money . then why dont you make something like what they did its not hard
Cardboard boxes are probably the most recycled item on the planet. And they protect most items better than flexible plastic mailers.
Jesus loves you all he died on the cross for you I pray and I believe that you will find him weather that'd be today or another day. Jesus loves you all AMENNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
