IELTS WRITING TASK 2

It is sometimes believed that producers and

sellers should care about reducing the amount of
packaging, while others consider individuals to
be responsible for this issues while performing
their purchase. I think that demand for certain
products is the premise for manufacturers,
actions;therefore, it is primarily the consumers,
who should avoid excess packaging, which will
give the incentives for the companies and
retailers to lessen the number of extra packing material.

One of one hand, supporters of the former

position base their opinion on the practical futility
of individuals, actions regarding buying less
packaged goods. This is because by using less
packaging, consumers factually do not reduce its
amount that already had been produced. This
tons of unused extra packaging is being
disposed of the same as it would have been
done if it was sold. Noneless, rarely do people
realize that consumers determine the behaviour
of manufacturers who aim to satisfy their needs.

So next, there are people who understand the

inextricable connection between customers and
producer , actions, believing that changes in
business stems from buyer decision. if it were not
not for the constant meeting and adapting to the
demands of the consumers, many succesful
company would not reach such remarkable
results. Consequently, not only do the consumers
command the manufacture, innovation
direction, but they also can mantain a united
front on the issue of lowering the huge ammount
of packaging in order to contribute to social well-
being in the long run.

To conclude, although people may have various

opinion, I am strongly convinced that first and
foremost customers should stop buying overwrapped goods,
dictating the manufacture and supermarkets supply, updated
to meet consumers needs for less packaging.
