Does Amazon really landfill the products we don’t buy?

by admin

There is a video on the net that we should watch. It lasts four minutes and 20 and talks about us even though it is filmed in Scotland. Talk about how our society works, the economic model. It is an investigation by a British TV that has received from an Amazon employee “the evidence”, or at least very convincing clues, that hundreds of thousands of unsold products are sent to landfill from a warehouse every week. Fully functional electronic products, including televisions; but also books or cutlery. Boxes and boxes of new pulp products Why destroy them? Because when a product no longer has a market, it is cheaper to send it to landfill than to return it to those who built it, would be the explanation. Something similar had been seen in our part of the country with fruit or vegetables: with the surplus of oranges or tomatoes sent to pulp to prevent them from ending up on the market by lowering prices. But here it is different. Here we see gadgets that have been objects of our ever more fleeting desire to end up in landfills in the name of a company’s profit. Without taking into account the damage to the environment, which we all pay; and of the fact that there are many voluntary organizations that could deliver those goods to those who need them and do not have the money to buy them. Why then? Amazon on its website proudly and pompously lists the sustainability goals it is working on, zero emissions, the circular economy. Goals precisely: but what is the reality? Really in that Scottish warehouse alone or in the UK alone millions of new, working items are destroyed in the name of profit? We do not know. There was no detailed official response to the British TV investigation. Only activist Greta Thunberg observed: “If you have a system where such a thing is possible and even profitable, this is proof that something fundamental is wrong.”
