One problem is the increase in carbon, since in online purchases more use is made of this, because many times the household has to make two trips or more since they do not receive the product.

The clothes have a high return rate, however many of these companies offer that the returns are totally free, but when the clothes are returned, they are almost never cleaned, this means that for companies it is more affordable to throw away the items than to pay for wash it, and that used clothing ends up in landfills or burned and this generates more pollution, on the other hand, when the compars are in face-to-face stores, there is less possibility of these issues happening.

TRANSPORT US

Before online shopping became so famous, human beings could even walk to the store and, therefore, there was not so much use of the means of transport, thus reducing the pollution of the environment. But now in online shopping the means of transport are used more.

In online shopping you see many plastic bags since in physical stores people could carry their reusable cloth bag and thus avoid the consumption of plastic bags.

In a study it is revealed that supermarket households make 120 deliveries in a round of 80 kilometers, producing 21 kilograms of CO2. on the contrary, a 21-kilometer trip to the store and vice versa for a home would generate 24 times more CO 2.
