Leading e-commerce structures favor sustainable packaging by helping to reduce plastic consumption, decide on recyclable materials, and encourage consumers to recycle. Companies like Amazon are investing in renewable energy for their warehouses and promoting carbon-neutral transportation options. In addition, these companies use the technology to thereby reduce emissions. In addition, the trend for circular financial modes is gaining momentum. By facilitating resale, restoration, and recycling – the life cycle of products extends and reduces waste. These practices are the most adept at retaining resources, but they also resonate with growing customers' demands for green responsibility. The E-commerce industry is effectively protecting the environment by implementing eco-friendly techniques, as well as serving as a role model for others.
