(a) Why are plastic materials so widely used?
(b) Why should plastics be used judiciously?
(c) What values did Meena exhibit while shopping using a jute bag?
Answers
Answer:
a )Plastic is widely used because plastic packaging is so durable, plastic packaging can be very thin. This means it uses fewer resources and takes up less space for transport which means fewer trucks, trains or planes are needed to transport it. Versatile: plastics can be transformed in many different ways.
b) The judicious use of plastic packaging preserves food during transportation, increases its shelf life, reduces food loss and food waste, and can act as a medium to provide information on proper storage, handling and preparation.
c) She by using jute bags firstly just put a step forward for the eco friendly environment,then also she herself becomes an inspiration of using jute bags , like this she can prevent the harms of plastic bags also...
a) Cost effectiveness: This is the prime reason behind the popularity of the polymer in the packaging industry. In comparison to glass and metal, the polymer is preferred for solid, liquids, semi-solids and other forms like powder etc. Bottle, jars, flexible packings, rigid canister are some common forms.
High durability: Although metal is more durable than plastic, but fails in certain environmental conditions. This is why, metal is less preferred for packing of liquids and other items in semi solid forms like oil and lubricants. Plastic is very durable in different conditions, against physical stress, transportation, handling and stacking load.
Barrier: It acts as a strong barrier against moisture, air, water, bacteria and light (if designed in a certain way). In very less cost, the content can be protected against many external factors that might affect the properties of the packaged item.
b) The judicious use of plastic packaging preserves food during transportation, increases its shelf life, reduces food loss and food waste, and can act as a medium to provide information on proper storage, handling and preparation.
c) Meena shows responsible values towards environment.
What we learn: We should be highly responsible towards environment by stop using plastic bags.
