Some people think the manufacturers and shopping malls should sell fewer packaged products while others argue that people have the responsibility to buy products with less packaging.

Nowadays
waste
such
 as plastic and paper has increased by 10% each year damaging the environment. Some people believe factories and shops should offer less packaged
products
. Others consider each individual as one who decides to buy a certain amount of packaged
items
. In
this
 essay, I will discuss both views and give my opinion. First of all, those who create the product and sell it have the power in their hands. If a seller produces or offers less packaged
products
, it would help the buyer's behaviour to stop adding up to the
waste
.
For example
, in Australia, there is 15% of customers buy package-free
products
 from companies who are offering their
items
 without any package and it is a growing tendency.
However
, it is said that Individuals are the ones responsible for excessive packaging when they buy
items
. Social behaviour can change if each person is conscious of the negative impact it has on buying
items
 with unnecessary packaging. If people buy extra packaging
items
 it might lead to polluting our environment.
According to

 "If each person becomes aware and stops purchasing over-packaged
items
,
this
 will lead to a 10% reduction in
waste
 per year.”
To sum up
, if factories make a product package-free
then
 the reproduction of useless packaging will be controlled from the start.
In contrast
, each individual has the power to choose better and change cultural behaviour when purchasing
products
 with less packaging. In my opinion, both parties share the responsibility to reduce packaging that becomes
waste
 and harms the environment.
