On March 5th,The Alliance for Action (AfA) on Packaging Waste Reduction for the E-commerce Sector has published a set of Guidelines on Sustainable E-commerce Packaging. The Guidelines were developed by members of the AfA, comprising 14 companies across the e-commerce supply chain (including marketplaces, retailers and packaging producers), organisations and experts. The AfA was co-led by the Singapore Manufacturing Federation and Singapore Post and supported by the National Environment Agency. The Guidelines provide a comprehensive list of concrete 3R (Reduce, Re-use, Recycle) solutions tailored to various types of e-commerce packaging. Each solution is augmented with step-by-step actions for businesses to consider and the expected benefits and drawbacks. The Guidelines also benchmark the solutions based on the estimated effort, cost, and environmental impact to allow companies to select the one that best suits their needs.
