We have become a disposable society, preferring to buy new products rather than repair existing items. Why do you think this is? How can this trend be reversed?

Now a

day

, there is a growing trend towards buying new items

instead

of reusing the already present items. There are a number of reasons for

this

particular attitude of people.

Firstly

, due to the recent rising ‘all under one roof culture’, people

to buy the things they come across. One reason which can be attributed to

this

attitude is that

instead

of repairing or even refurbishing the existing ones, it is easier to buy the same item which is readily available in the market. Another noticeable reason for buying new items is that due to earning members of a family has increased, the disposable income of the families has

also

increased.

Therefore

, they are more willing and able to spend money on buying a relatively new item.

Moreover

, we are now living in a fast-paced world. Generally, families do not have time to repair an existing item.

Additionally

, it is now considered as a status symbol to have fresh items rather than continue using the same old daily

use

items. An increasing brand conscious culture is what is defining our society these days by encouraging the

use

of branded items rather than

ones. There needs to be massive strategies which are to be implemented

that is

going to discourage the culture of buying new items rather than repairing the old ones. Incentivizing the

use

of recycled items is essential to bring people back to repairing the existing ones.

For instance

, for a limited period the repairing of items at the shop where it is originally purchased is made free of cost.

Furthermore

instead

of trashing the redundant items, if they are given at recycling factories

recycled items which will resultantly be beneficial for all.
