packaging waste
Packaging waste refers to the materials used to contain, protect, and transport products, such as boxes, plastic wraps, bottles, and bags, which are discarded after use. As consumption increases, so does the amount of packaging waste, contributing to environmental issues like landfill overflow and pollution. Managing this waste involves reducing unnecessary packaging, recycling materials, and finding sustainable alternatives. Effective waste management helps conserve resources, reduces pollution, and supports environmental health, making packaging waste a significant concern for communities and industries alike.
