The amount of

waste

produced by households and industries is rising / increasing at an alarming rate.

the reasons for

this

increase in

waste

production

and

also

suggest some measures to mitigate the problem / improve the situation.

To begin

with, increased

use

of packaged items is one of the main causes of excessive

production

of rubbish. Companies nowadays

use

a variety of packaging materials

such

as

plastic

, polythene and rubber.

Although

the packaging makes the item more attractive, the materials used in preparing packets are mostly non-biodegradable and they do not decompose. Since the packaging is always discarded, it increases the

production

of rubbish.

In addition

to

this

, people nowadays follow the

use

and throw culture. As companies are now focusing more on creating cheap and disposable products, people now prefer to acquire new things

instead

of reusing and repairing the old ones.

As a result

of

this

mass consumption of new items, the old and used items are discarded leading to the

production

of more rubbish. Ultimately,

such

practices cause the

production

of more non-decomposable

waste

/ garbage. The solutions are not

simple but

simple, but

they do exist. The government should enact strict laws that force companies

only bio-degradable materials for packaging purposes.

In addition

to using materials that decompose easily, manufacturers should invent new packaging materials that can be recycled.

This

will automatically reduce the amount of

waste

produced.

Moreover

, the government should encourage people to recycle items that are made of

plastic

, metals and glass items.

For example

, recently I read on Facebook about a beach in

Australia where

Australia, where

machines are installed and people can buy a food item by just submitting used

plastic

bottles. These kinds of encouragement activities and events can help in persuading people to recycle. In conclusion,

although

many reasons

such

as the

use

of

plastic

packaging materials and over consumerism contribute towards the increase in

waste

production

, the government can reduce

this

growing problem by implementing stringent laws and by promoting recycling.
