Question

How is the 'use and throw' concept responsible for the increase in waste generation?

Answer 1

1. The use-and-throw paradigm has led to an alarming growth in trash amount and complexity. 
2. Solid waste collects in various locations, including street corners, hospitals, schoolyards, and near bodies of water. 
3. Dumping solid garbage not only creates an unsightly appearance and unpleasant odour but also poses significant health risks. Epidemics can occur when waste accumulates near water bodies.
