NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 31 – Jumia Kenya consumers will now receive their online orders in their original packaging from the manufacturer without any extra wrapping from Jumia.
This follows the company’s recent announcement, which aligns with its ESG strategy aimed at environmentally friendly activities in the countries it operates in.
Items like clothes and apparel, shoes, TVs, printers, water dispensers, and photocopiers will be delivered in the manufacturer’s original packaging with an Airway bill stuck on top instead of additional Jumia-branded packaging.
Sensitive and personal items will still be packaged to conceal the item and maintain privacy.
“In line with our sustainability agenda, we will continue cutting down on waste created from the packaging material used to pack our customer orders. Our updated packaging guidelines will include zero use of carton boxes and cut down on unnecessary Jumia wraps,” said Jumia Fulfillment Manager, Daisy Langa’t.
“Majority of the items ordered will be delivered with their original manufacturer packaging with just an Airway bill stuck on it.”
The company made the announcement ahead of World Zero Day celebrations held on March 30th.
