Abstract	Shopping online is huge now, and you can buy stuff whenever you want. However, it also generates much more waste, especially from packaging and returns. This study examines how online stores reduce waste and what shoppers know about eco-friendly choices. For the study, a survey of 40 people was conducted and existing studies were reviewed. The study found that most shoppers want less packaging and more recyclable items, and that using less cardboard packaging, eco-friendly materials and simple returns reduces waste. Dealing with waste is the need of the hour which helps to protect the planet and keeps businesses operating in a sustainable way.
