(a) The different kinds of packaging materials commonly used includes:
(i) plastic bags for carrying eatables or other household things
(ii) cloth or jute bags for carrying fruits, vegetables, or other groceries
(iii) paper bags for carrying small groceries, packing of food, etc.
(b) The usage of plastic bags must be reduced as packaging of cooked food items in plastic bags might affect our health. Also, plastic bags are non-recyclable and burning of plastic bags may release harmful gases that can cause many health diseases.
(c) Packaging increases the amount of garbage as we keep on throwing the packaging materials carelessly on roads and other places. Also, since these packaging materials (mainly plastic covers) are non-recyclable, they keep lying on the roads and cannot be properly disposed off. Sometimes, they get into drains and sewer systems and block them, creating more problems.
