On the rooftop of the building, they set up a 27 meter long lettering made out of shipping boxes reading: “for the bin”. They also changed the logo of the online merchant with banners to the hashtag #amazoncrime” one day before the annual Amazon Prime Day that has extremely high numbers of orders. Round about one third of the returned goods from online trade in Germany doesn’t go back into direct sale and is partly destructed.
