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, due to its

, many countries prefer
plastic
products

of other options. Even
food

in

easy transportation and economic benefits, will not outweigh the disadvantages.
To begin
with,
plastic
containers are very common in the
food
and beverages industries as it is very suitable for packing, storage and transportation.
For example
, most of the companies are located outside the city to get enough space for
food
processing and parking facilities.
Thus
, they have to bring the finished goods from the company for distribution. If the companies go for eco-friendly

like paper

, there are chances to spill the liquid, especially oil, from the packages.
Also
, they have to be extra careful about the temperature settings inside the container of the vehicle to avoid moisture. Paper bags may get wet

if the moisture level increases.
Moreover
,
plastic
items
are less expensive than eco-friendly
products
and easily available in the market. Even though
plastic
items
have many advantages as mentioned above, they are very dangerous for both humans and nature. When the heat comes in contact with
plastic
, toxic chemicals will be released. These chemicals are extremely dangerous for our health. During the packing process, a high temperature is used to seal the package.
Further
, most of the
food
items
are moved to containers when it is very hot. S, by having
food
from these packages, toxic chemicals will reach our bodies and we will become sick. Another reason to avoid the usage of
plastic
is to protect mother earth. After usage, the majority of the
plastic
waste goes to land. Even after hundred years,
this
plastic
will remain in the soil without degradation.
This
will prevent water from reaching the soil and negatively affect the growth of plants, trees and earthworms.
Also
,
plastic
is dangerous for aquatic life.
For instance
, via rivers,
plastic
carry bags and containers reach the sea which

to the outer sea. Turtles and fish will get stuck in these bags and their movement will be restricted. In extreme cases, they may not be able to have
food
and will die
accordingly
. To conclude,
plastic
is injurious to humans as well as to nature. It will cause serious health issues and destroy marine life as well as disturb the growth of plants and trees.
Thus
, I strongly believe that the positive outcomes of
plastic
usage will not outweigh the negative aspects.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
