Author/Source: Hong Kong Industrial
Main Points:
The article informs about how much packaging is used in one’s product and how that affects humans and it’s relation with toxicology. Factories and companies use many unnecessary packaging for things and later on they are thrown out and will end up in a waste fill. Using asingle packaging is more than enough and even that will is a waste eventually. Other ways are using eco-friendly packaging such as green-packaging or recyclable packaging. Also the consumer should play it’s role for this becoming effective.
My Own Thoughts On Topic:
My initial reaction to the article was, Do people really do that? If they are, are they aware of the damage they’re causing to their selves and the environment? And by doing simple small things we can improve the way we live and even influence others to follow in our footsteps.Companies that use packaging should use only the primary layer, Countries should have laws about packaging, and individuals should recycle their waste. Over packaging is not effective both financially and environmentally so why do it.
