On Excessive Packaging
Nowadays the phenomena of over-packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of wine packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-woven baskets, just to name a few.
There are several reasons of this over-packaging. The first is that a large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits. On the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate the package is, the better the quality will be, thus encouraging excessive packaging.
From my perspective, excessive packaging has its consequences, including the loss of precious resources as well as extra workforce on garbage disposal.
To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following measures. First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict excessive packaging. In addition, we need toadvocate clear packaging and raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging
doesn’t equal to high quality.
