In many countries, plastic containers have become more common than ever and are used by many food and drink companies. Do you think the advantages outweighs the disadvantages.

Nowadays, around the globe, the

usage

of

plastic

is getting increased day by day. Many companies around the world are using

plastic

for storing and transporting their products.

Although

many are against it, I firmly opine that the merit of companies using

plastic

containers clearly outweighs its demerits. In the below essay, I will discuss both the views with examples.

On the other hand

, those who argue against it suggest that it creates environmental pollution. After

usage

, consumers throw away these containers, which are later eaten by stray and wildlife animals. Plastics

also

take a large amount of time to decompose, which causes a pile of garbage.

However

, the root cause of

this

issue is consumer themselves. After consumption, customers should be made aware of the proper

usage

of plastics. Companies are promoting a campaign to promote

such

awareness.

For example

, Coca-cola has urged its

customer

to return their cans to shops, and eventually, the consumer will get some rewards.

Hence

, companies are using a different medium to inform the

customer

regarding proper handling of plastics, which is the leading cause of environmental pollution.

On the other hand

, The

usage

of

plastic

containers is highly economical for beverages companies.

In other words

, plastics have less weight as compared to other packaging materials.

Hence

it lowers the final product costs. Reduction in transportation cost is

also

feasible as these containers take less space, which aids in transporting a larger number of final goods in the domestic market, as well as benefitting the organisation in increasing its export profit margin.

In addition

,

plastic

containers

also

aid in providing final products to

customer

in varied size and shapes. It is beneficial for the consumer to choose material as per their packaging requirement. In conclusion, for companies plastics containers are highly economical, though they damage the environment, companies are making their

customer

self-aware regarding the handling of these plastics.

Thus

, the merits of the

usage

of plastics by companies clearly outweigh the disadvantages.
