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 outweigh the disadvantages?

In numerous nations, usage of plastics have been increased a lot and several companies are now switching to
plastic
 packaging.
This
 essay disagrees with
this
 statement and will discuss that despite there are benefits of using polycarbonate products, which are easy to manufacture with lower costs, the major drawback of
this
 being used at a large scale is polluting the
environment
, which far outweighs any advantages. Large-scale industries make a fortune by using
plastic
 boxes for delivering their processed meals.
This
 is because the manufacturing cost of producing
such
 materials is super-cheap.
Moreover
, it's a lot easier to pack food in
such
 containers as it requires reduced

 hours.
For example
, most companies in China are now preferring to deliver snacks as
plastic
-wrapped, making profits in millions of dollars, thereby avoiding all the costs which are needed to produce eco-friendly containers.
However
, I believe that
this
 trend has a detrimental effect on the
environment
. One of most concerning disadvantages is that the waste outcome from the use of
plastic
 is affecting the
environment
.
That is
 to say, enterprises dispose of huge amounts of
plastic
 wastes, which is either being thrown into the nearby rivers or jungles. All
plastic
 products are non-degradable and release toxic chemicals into the
environment
.
For instance
, as per the recent study by The Economic Times, it is estimated that 50% of the rivers that are surrounding
such
 mills which produce
plastic
 are polluted and unfit for the aqua life.
Therefore
, the use of plastics needs to stop immediately at the world level. In conclusion, the deadly pollution spreading in the
environment
 by the use of plastics far overshadows any possible advantages of making
such
 materials at dirt-cheap prices.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
