Environmental Impact of Amazon Customer Returns and Competitive Sustainability Ways
Take Back-Track for example – a rapidly growing Ecommerce company whose unique business model is taking defective or customer returned products from sellers, refurbishing said products, and then helping sellers resell their products for a discount (as opposed to having Amazon resell them or throw them away).

The products are destroyed or sent to landfills instead of charities and other organizations such as Back-Track where sellers could benefit from these discarded goods. While Amazon denies such practices, independent investigative probes by two digital news agencies reveal startling and uncomfortable truths.

Truth – National Online Customer Returns Day is January 2, 2020
Why is January 2nd Nation Returns Day? UPS is one of the largest shippers for online retailers and one of the largest carriers for shipping online customer returns back to the retailers. In years past, UPS considered January 5th as Nation Returns Day with the largest single day for return shipments of 1.5 million packages on January 5th 2017.
