Amazon has been accused of “routine destruction of millions of perfectly good products” as charities call for new anti-waste laws to be brought in.
Video recordings and photographs, published by ITV News and The Times, appear to show 3ft-high boxes filled with groceries at Amazon’s depot in Dunfermline classified as waste and destined to be destroyed.
Thousands of food items well within their sell-by date and with intact packaging were filmed in secret in at the Amazon facility’s returns section, also understood to be known as the “destruction zone”.
