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
.
