Inditex SA’s drive to tackle single-use plastic packaging in the supply chain is being put to the test as German online fashion retailer Zalando SE refuses a demand to remove the material during the final sale to consumers.
The owner of the Zara chain has requested that Zalando replace the plastic bags that clothes are delivered in with other packaging before sending to customers, but Europe’s largest e-commerce group has decided not to do so, according to people who asked not to be named because the matter is not public.
