Nowadays, environmental pollution is a tremendous problem, and many governments, societies, and people themselves are trying to tackle it. One of the ways to maintain this is to decrease the amount of packaging materials. It could be implemented in two ways: it can be either supermarkets’ or customers’ accountability.
First of all, customers will not be able to purchase products with too much packaging if the manufacturers reduce the amount of it. It will be simply impossible to buy, and even if people wanted it, they would not get it. So, as a result, people will accept the substituted package and buy commodities in more nature-friendly packages. This point of view hints doubtless at the importance of changes for supermarkets and manufacturers.
Moreover, I suppose that if customers pay attention to what they are buying, it will not affect the production of such products very much. I mean that manufacturers may continue to produce their goods as before, and if they have drawbacks with sales in their ordinary market, they will try to find other ways, such as importing to peddle commodities.
On the other hand, customers must have influence on supermarkets and manufacturers, and their approach to extensive packaging may have positive implications. If the boycott against producers who use too much packaging is vast, it will stop them. Manufacturers and supermarkets will lose income as well if the boycott is supported by a large group of people.
So, ultimately, I would like to say that reducing the amount of packaging materials is, first of all, the accountability of supermarkets and manufacturers. They have more influence and may change more than ordinary customers.
