Example of a confusing word: package (a parcel or bundle)

▪The company updated the package to be more eco-friendly.
▪The company made the parcel more sustainable.
"Packaging" refers to the materials or process used to wrap or protect products, which is why it fits naturally in sentences discussing changes for environmental reasons. "Package," however, refers to the actual parcel or bundle, not the materials used to wrap it. Using "package" in this context is incorrect because it changes the focus from the materials to the item itself, which doesn't align with the intended meaning of improving sustainability. Therefore, "packaging" is the correct term.
