Question

Why do people use so much plastic

Answer 1

Answer:

Plastic packaging serves several important functions in our modern lives, which are the primary reasons we rely on it:

Protection: protects vulnerable products from damage whilst in transit and from contamination or damage by moisture, humidity, gases, microorganisms, insects and light.

Preservation: preserves products for longer, which reduces waste by giving people more time to use or consume them before it is no longer suitable to do so.

Prevents waste: products kept together and spillages avoided.

Transportation: Allows transport over great distances, so that we have access to a wide variety of non-local produce that, in turn, encourages trade. It also saves space through stacking objects which make transporting more efficient.

Displays information: important information about the product, such as nutritional content or allergy advice, is displayed on packaging
