A recent survey signed ITV News has highlighted areal ecological scandal orchestrated by Amazon. We already knew that the online sales giant destroyed many products received in return from dissatisfied customers.
But ITV News reveals practiceseven more amazing. In the United Kingdom, Amazon destroys millions of unsold products each year, including new products, still in cellophane. Among them, there are obviously products marked with apple such as airpods, iPads or MacBook…

A funny operation in any case, while Amazon recently added a new mention “ClimatePLEDGE Friendly” to some of its products, such as the Echo speaker, highlighting a certain ecological commitment…
