No one would be willing to pay one-third of the price for the packaging or wrapping of what he or she purchases. But over-packaging has bee a disease that leads to an     50     waste of resources and     51     environmental pollution.
The wasted packaging materials are     52     to be worth about 280 billion yuan annually. And such packages and wrappings thrown away by customers     53     up half of the volume of solid waste in cities.     54    , it is high time that regulations were     55     to stop enterprises from spending too much on unnecessary packaging and wrapping.
To produce paper packaging or wrapping, many more trees have to be cut down. Over-packaging also limits the interest of consumers when they have to spend quite a high percentage on something that they will have to throw into the dustbin. The simple truth is that the more a producer spends on packaging, the     56     the products it sells will be.
Product packaging and wrapping used to be very simple 30 years ago. Shabby was the word many had used to     57     the way Chinese products were packaged. And shabby packaging was blamed for making Chinese products     58     in the international market.
It is     59     to pay enough attention to packaging or wrapping products in such a manner that they can be     60     to customers' eyes. But that does not definitely justify that packaging should even outshine what is inside.
In the Chinese proverb, “maidu huanzhu,” the buyer returns the pearl and just keeps the case because the     61     is too fancy and luxurious. It not only laughs at the poor     62     of the buyer, but also criticizes the unnecessary     63     the seller has made in making the case. Another message from the proverb is that over-packaging helps cultivate an     64     consuming attitude - to buy fancy-looking stuff but not what they really need.
