Too much packaging and not enough recycling?

 

Topic Image

In this 'throw away' society we live in, everything we buy is packaged in cardboard, plastic and other materials. The main purpose should be to protect the item, but often it purely a marketing reason, with bright colours and larger than necessary boxes etc. Should there be laws that prevent this from occurring and would there be the resultant job losses if there was less packaging and perhaps resultant less sales? Should all packaging be required to come from recyled materials? You decide!
