Amazon.com Inc. has announced a series of sustainability initiatives aimed at reducing its environmental impact in India. The company has set a goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across its operations by 2040 and to return more water to Indian communities than it uses in its direct operations by 2027. In collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, Amazon is developing recyclable paper mailers made from agricultural waste such as wheat, straw, and sugarcane residue. The project seeks to provide an alternative to traditional wood pulp and plastic packaging, with commercial production expected to begin following industrial trials. Additionally, Amazon plans to invest $35 billion in India by 2030 to advance AI innovation, create jobs, and support small businesses.
