Jumia Kenya consumers will now receive their online orders in their original packaging from the manufacturer without any extra wrapping from Jumia.

Consumers making online orders from Jumia are set to receive them in their original packaging from the manufacturer without any extra wrapping from Jumia.

This is in line with the business's most recent statement, which supports its ESG strategy focused on environmentally friendly actions in the nations where it conducts business.

Instead of additional Jumia-branded packaging, items including clothing and accessories, footwear, TVs, printers, water dispensers, and photocopiers will be delivered in the manufacturer's original packaging with an Airway bill pasted on top.

Jumia Fulfillment Manager, Daisy Langa’t noted that sensitive and private items will continue to be packed in a way that hides them and protects privacy.

Further, she said that the e-commerce company will continue cutting down on waste created from the packaging material used to pack orders for their customer's orders in line with their sustainability agenda.

 “Our updated packaging guidelines will include zero use of carton boxes and cut down on unnecessary Jumia wraps. 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.
