Opinion - Overpackaging

7. These days companies are selling their products by extra packing to attract the buyers.

However, I am unconvinced and feel that the consumers should avoid purchasing such products as it is a waste of money and resources.

Firstly, over packing of the goods increases its maximum retail price.Hence,although the company is spending on the packing,it is the  consumer who ls at loss as the company sells the product at a higher price than needed and recovers the money spent on its packing.It is the consumers who should realise this and avoid buying such items.

Secondly, people these days buy food products that can be consumed on the run. The plastic and paper that is used to wrap these goods are then thrown around the place resulting in environmental pollution .

On the other hand fast food franchisee use various attractive ways to pack their products which then lure the kids in buying them.Children form the major proportion of the consumers of these unhealthy foods. As a result of the consumption of these processed foods there is a rise in the number of children suffering from obesity,diabetes etc.

To conclude, I believe it is the responsibility of the consumers to refuse products that are overpacked as ultimately they are on the losing side.
