Two days ago, the Amazon Seller Forum updated an announcement stating: Based on regulatory requirements, all opaque or single-color Mylar bags must be removed from Amazon stores by August 5, 2022.
This means that the seller must create a removal order within 30 days of notification so that the remaining inventory can be properly placed. After 30 days, the asin for these products will be removed from the Amazon marketplace.
What's the meaning? Amazon will ban all plastic bag products?
Follow along with me to watch it!

As soon as this announcement came out, it caused a "panic" of many Amazon sellers. There was a quick discussion among the sellers. Everyone believed that the announcement might prohibit sellers from using non-transparent or single-color plastic bags as outer packaging, and they all asked how to deal with it. Will it be returned?
There are also sellers who think this way: Amazon’s policy should be aimed at listings that are sold in plastic bags, not other products packaged in plastic bags.
And this statement has also been recognized by a large number of sellers.
Some sellers directly consulted Amazon's customer service, and the answer was: it is the requirements for the sellers who sell the bags, not the requirements for the bags used for packaging.
This announcement is actually an announcement similar to the British plastic restriction order. It is not ordinary products with plastic packaging that are prohibited from being sold and removed from the shelves, but only for products with pure plastic bags.
It seems that everyone is also relieved. As for sellers whose restricted products are opaque or single-color polyester film bags, it is also recommended to remove the products as soon as possible to avoid losses caused by touching the policy.
Under the requirements of waves of compliance and bans, the operating costs of sellers are also gradually rising. Although business compliance is inevitable, there may be a long way to go on the road to compliance. Walk.
