Amazon and Google use A.I. to cut down on billions of pounds of excess inventory destroyed each yearReturned goods account for 5 billion pounds of waste in U.S. landfills each year and that number is growing with the rise of e-commerce. Amazon, Google, and other tech and retail companies are trying to cut back on the waste by increasing donations and using data and artificial intelligence.

Every year, Amazon and other retailers end up with billions of pounds of excess, unsold inventory that they send straight to landfills. Overall, returned goods create more than 5 billion pounds of waste in U.S. landfills each year. That number is going up as more customers shop online, where the rate of returns is 25%, compared to just 9% for in-store purchases. Now, Amazon and major retailers are doing something about it.

Representative Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, a moderate Democrat who is opposed to impeaching President Donald Trump, is expected to leave the party as the House prepares to vote on impeachment. Van Drew did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment. Van Drew has been openly critical of impeachment, arguing that it’s polarizing and comes too close to the 2020 election. So whatever you do, you’re going to aggravate people,” Van Drew told NBC News. Van Drew’s party switch could impact t

The rise in online food delivery has changed that. A 2011 Cornell survey of 372 U.S. restaurant operators found that less than 10% of takeout or delivery orders were done online. Since then, third-party delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats have transformed the delivery market. Consumers looking for convenient meals ordered $10.2 billion from delivery aggregators in 2018, which would make the third-party delivery market the size of the fifth-largest U.S. restaurant chain, according to Techno

How big Tesla Energy can becomeTesla Energy supplies power to homes, businesses and utilities by selling solar panels, solar roofing and battery storage packs called the Powerwall, Powerpack and Megapack. “I think there is generally a lack of understanding or appreciation for the growth of Tesla Energy,” Musk said on the recent earnings call.

SpaceX’s StarlinkSpaceX has launched 120 Starlink satellites this year and, over the next few weeks, plans to launch another 120 satellites. Backed by a host of investors including Softbank, the company plans to launch a megaconstellation of about 650 satellites. But its plans to launch about 30 satellites per launch have been delayed, as the company says it does

Elon Musk has always had a love for cars — well before becoming the CEO of Tesla. On Tuesday, his mother, Maye Musk, tweeted a 1995 picture of Elon with his very first car, saying “and people said you knew nothing about cars.” Musk responded with the story behind the photo: “Couldn’t afford to pay for repairs, so I fixed almost everything on that car from parts in the junkyard,” Musk tweeted. “Ironically, that’s me replacing broken side window glass. The circle is complete lol,” he said, referri

A list of the highest-paying freelance jobs, created for CNBC.com by the global freelancing platform Upwork, shows dozens of jobs in which freelancers can earn $90,000 per year — or more. “People should look at this list and think a little differently about the freelance economy,” says Adam Ozimek, Upwork’s chief economist. “There’s too much focus on a narrow corner of the freelance economy and lower-skilled workers. That report found that there are more than 15 million full-time freelancers, wi
