Some people feel that manufacturers and supermarkets have the responsibility to reduce the amount of packaging of goods. Others argue that customers should avoid buying goods with a lot of packaging. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Nowadays, the problem related to the

amount

of packaging material used for

products

has emerged as a hot topic. Many argue that the product

manufacturers

and shopkeepers should be responsible to reduce the

amount

of packaging while some believe it should be done at the end of consumers. In

this

essay, both the arguments will be examined and it will be provided why it should be the responsibility of both

manufacturers

and

customers

. The supermarkets should ban

such

items and

products

which contain more paper, plastic and cardboard for packaging,

for instance

,things like perfumes and cosmetics. In

this

way, they can contribute to producing less garbage and in the long run, recycling will become easier for the state.

For example

, in China, the

manufacturers

stopped adding more

amount

of packaging to their

products

in 2008 which helped a lot in producing less rubbish and

besides

this

, recycling waste material

also

became easier.

Therefore

, supermarkets and producers can play a crucial role in creating less pollution and garbage.

However

, the other school of thought think that it is the responsibility of people themselves to buy

such

items which contain less

amount

of packaging material. They argue that

such

things come in luxury and they are not very necessary to buy, so

customers

should avoid buying them.

For instance

, in Pakistan, several food, beauty, cosmetics and apparel brands sell their items with a lot of wrappers and bags. Limelite and Beechtree are examples of

such

brands.

Furthermore

, the people supporting

this

idea back their view that it is the duty of

customers

to let

this

earth remain a livable place for their future generations which can only happen if they will generate less garbage and pollution.

Thus

, buyers can save the world and the environment by not purchasing

such

products

. In conclusion, considering all the facts, it can be said that several environmental issues have emerged because of more

amount

of packaging. Some people believe that it is the responsibility of

manufacturers

to reduce the

amount

of packaging, while some say that it should be done by the general masses and buyers. I, myself strongly hold

this

opinion that it should be done by all of them whether they are

manufacturers

, supermarket owners or

customers

.
