Explore more sustainable devices

We’re working to make Amazon devices more sustainable—from how we build them to how customers use them. Many of our devices feature recycled materials, durable design, and energy efficiency features, packaged in 100% recyclable packaging.

Donate and trade in pre-loved items

Give new life to the things you no longer need. We’re making it easy to donate products to charity or trade in electronics for a gift card.

Donate items through Give Back Box

This program allows customers to recycle packaging and used items by donating them directly to charities. Customers can simply fill a box with items they no longer need, print out a free shipping label, and drop it off at a local UPS or USPS office. We’ll then pick up the box and donate the items to charity.

Trade in used devices

With this program, we’re extending the lifetime of devices that might otherwise languish in a drawer. Customers can trade in Kindle e-readers, Echo smart speakers, Ring security cameras, Fire Tablets, and other electronics. For every valid trade-in, customers will receive an Amazon gift card based on the value, and if eligible, a discount of up to 20% on the latest Amazon devices.

AWS enables sustainability solutions

Customer Carbon Footprint Tool

Many of our AWS customers have asked us to help measure the carbon footprint of their AWS workloads—both to understand how moving to AWS reduces their carbon footprints and to report their overall footprints. This tool uses simple visualizations to show customers their historical carbon emissions, estimate emissions avoided by using AWS instead of an on-premises data center, and review forecast emissions based on their current use.

Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative

This initiative seeks to accelerate sustainability research and innovation by minimizing the cost and time required to acquire and analyze large sustainability datasets. These datasets are publicly available to anyone. It also provides cloud grants to those interested in exploring the use of AWS’ technology and scalable infrastructure to solve big, long-term sustainability challenges.
