In many countries, people are living in a "throwaway society" where things are used for a short time and thrown away. what are the causes of this and what problems does it lead to?

Individuals in many nations have started buying single-use items more often and

this

could have some serious implications for our planet.

This

essay recognises that the "throwaway" tradition developed by societies in some countries is a result of

companies

producing more disposable

products

and our community's negligence towards the effects of embracing

such

a culture. It

then

attempts to highlight the main implications of

this

practice- wastage of resources and harmful environmental impacts. The main causes of the throwaway

society

are attributed to the rising

production

of single-use items by

companies

and

society

's obliviousness towards its impacts. The use-and-throw culture has slowly infiltrated our

society

and established itself as a social trend.

For example

their drinks in disposable

bottles which are designed so attractively that they find increasing uses in parties and social gatherings. People

also

find it irresistible to jump onto the bandwagon and buy

such

products

instead

of wisely choosing their recyclable counterparts because

this

generation has developed the ignorant mentality that they would rather have shiny and colourful

plastic

bottles gracing their gatherings

instead

of the more environment-friendly glass bottles. The development of the throwaway culture has

thus

inevitably led to problems, which mainly include high wastage of resources and global pollution. Most productions require resources often borrowed from nature.

Due to

most things being treated like fast fashion, industries need to constantly procure a large number of raw materials for their

production

processes to keep up with the global demand.

Moreover

, the expeditious rate at which these

products

are disposed of suggests that non-biodegradable waste like

plastic

is constantly accumulating in the environment, polluting it. To incinerate these would

also

produce a significant amount of carbon footprint, pushing the world one step closer to global warming.

For example

, a report has recorded that Scottish households consume 130 kg of grocery packaging, which generates 650,000 tonnes of global

production

emissions. In conclusion, a throwaway

society

is caused primarily by the mass

production

of disposables by

companies

and people's ignorant consumption of

such

products

, which in turn leads to larger problems like global pollution and resource wastage.
