Abstract

How does your parcel look like when it arrived at your door? How is it wrapped and is your purchased item safely secured and in top condition? Did the seller use sustainable packaging? Normally, the first two questions are our primary concern, but not the latter, unless you are an eco concern buyer! Buying online through eCommerce requires seller to pack and deliver the purchased items to customers. As Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) have become the global agenda for a better planet for people and prosperity, eCommerce must also embrace sustainability in its daily operations. By definition, sustainable e-Commerce means conducting online commerce in a manner aimed at meeting the needs of today's generation without depleting natural resources or compromising future needs. This includes eco-friendly manufacturing, eco-friendly shipping, sustainable retail management and sustainable consumption on the part of the buyer (Virstiuk, 2022).
