Walmart will replace almost all its plastic mailers with paper alternatives.  The retailer aims to reduce packaging waste linked to its online order fulfillment. Walmart said on Thursday that it would eliminate 65 million plastic mailers by the end of its fiscal year. The mailers together comprise over 2,000 tons of plastic. The firm will also roll out technology that fits packages to order sizes, reducing the need for filler. Walmart aims to leverage the order-fitting technology across half its fulfillment network.
