Cardboard packaging – the most ecologically clean kind of packaging.
At the present stage of civilization development the global problem of ecology is one of the most
urgent ones for all countries of world. There is no state which doesn`t face to this problem.
Especially urgent is the issue of millions of tones of wastes, full of polyethylene and plastic
packaging of different products. Such packaging is absolutely not biodegradable, i.e. never
disappear from the Earth surface. They lead to numerous deaths of animals, birds and sea
inhabitants, which kink in it, mix it with food etc. It also pollutes rivers, seas and oceans,
forests, fields and other surfaces. All these lead to irreversible consequences for our planet.
That`s why all the humanity has to fight this problem until it becomes ecological disaster. But what
an ordinary consumer can do? Of course, you have to throw the garbage away only in proper places,
and it is desirable to sort it. It is very important to pay attention to the packaging of the soled
product and to choose the goods packed in ecologically clean material that does not pollute the
environment. The cardboard is a kind of such material. It can be recycled many times, it is easily
biodegradable, and that`s why it doesn`t harm the environment.
The manufactures should behave the same way, choosing for their products materials that do not
pollute the environment. That`s why in the fields where it is possible the cardboard packaging
should be used. Some companies can be stopped by higher price in comparison with plastics. However,
in present circumstances such behavior of manufactures is unacceptable, because the situation
becomes worse every year. We should be responsible in this question. Cardboard packaging can be
recycled many times, that will help to save trees and clean the territory of cities and villages
from paper garbage. And the manufacturer can partly compensate the expenses to the packaging by
giving used goods for recycling.
