The amount of waste produced by households and industries is rising/increasing at an alarming rate. This essay intends to analyze the reasons for this increase in trash formulation and also suggest some measures to mitigate the problem / improve the situation.
To begin with, increased consumption of packaged items is one of the main causes of excessive creation of rubbish. Companies nowadays utilize a variety of packaging materials such as plastic, polythene, and rubber. Although the packaging makes the item more attractive, the materials used in preparing packets are mostly non-biodegradable and they do not decompose. Since the packaging is always discarded, it increases the manufacturing of rubbish. In addition to this, people nowadays follow the throwaway culture. As companies are now focusing more on creating cheap and disposable products, people now prefer to acquire new things instead of reusing and repairing the old ones. As a result of this mass consumption of new items, the old and used items are discarded leading to the production of more rubbish. Ultimately, such practices cause the production of more non-decomposable garbage.
The solutions are not simple, but they do exist. The government should enact strict laws that force companies use only bio-degradable materials for packaging purposes. In addition to using materials that decompose easily, manufacturers should invent new packaging materials that can be recycled. This will automatically reduce the amount of waste produced. Moreover, the government should encourage people to recycle items that are made of plastic, metals and glass items. For example, recently I read on Facebook about a beach in Australia, where machines are installed and people can buy a food item by just submitting used plastic bottles. These kinds of encouragement activities and events can help in persuading people to recycle.
In conclusion, although many reasons such as the use of pseudo packaging materials and over consumerism contribute towards the increase in waste production, the government can reduce this growing problem by implementing stringent laws and by promoting recycling.
