Integrated Packaging Technologies

Amazon will automate its machines across its European fulfillment network as part of a major effort to reduce packaging waste and improve efficiency. This initiative marks the company’s largest investment in sustainable packaging in the region to date.

Through the deployment of advanced automated systems, Amazon will introduce custom-box making technology that creates made-to-fit packaging tailored to each item. As a result, packaging volume is significantly reduced, which helps lower material use and minimize waste.

Initially, over 70 machines will be installed in facilities across Germany, the UK, France, Italy, and Spain by the end of the year, with further expansion planned through 2027. Moreover, smaller, tailored packages optimize space in delivery vehicles, allowing more items to be shipped per trip. Ultimately, the initiative supports Amazon’s long-term commitment to reducing its environmental footprint.
