These days, people in some countries are living in a throw-away society which means people use things in a short time then throw them away. What are the causes and what are the problems?

It is true that a throw-away

society

is growing in popularity in many parts of the world.

This

tendency stems from several factors, and its consequences need to be discussed. There are several reasons why consumers in contemporary

society

tend to keep buying new products and throwing old items. Chief among them is the mass production of shoddy products that are made of cheap and low-quality materials. These

goods

any substance that can be metabolized by an animal to give energy and build tissue

foods

often have a short lifespan and fall apart after a few weeks or months. Many consumers baulk at fixing those products just because of the affordability of new items that are flooding the market. Another reason is that some producers rely on a technique called planned-obsolescence to manufacture their products.

This

means that these products have a certain lifespan, and they would go beyond repair when the time has come. Let us not forget our smartphones. The quality of

likely to deteriorate, becoming sluggish and awkward after a few months or years. The throw-away culture mentioned above is negative in the main. Every product has a carbon footprint because it requires resources for

and transport.

This

means that more products thrown away will add to environmental pollution, exacerbate concerns related to our surroundings. Apart from the environmental perspective, the rise of a throw-away

society

also

sends a strong message to manufacturers to continue to exploit cheap labour in developing countries. If an article of clothing is sold at a low price, the worker who

arguable that consumers are actually the victims of fast fashion. In conclusion, a throw-away culture is attributable to several factors.

This

culture has detrimental effects on the environment and on

society

as a whole.
