Answer
The 'use and throw' concept means to use any product only once and then dispose it.
For example, suppose we purchase a pen. After the ink is finished, we throw it away and buy a new pen instead of buying a refill and reusing the pen. If this example is followed by many people, the amount of waste will definitely increase in volume.
Thus, the 'use and throw' concept is responsible for the increase in waste generation.
