[Grammar] Ving vs. Noun

[englishteacher79]

Is it better to write,

"This situation leads to producing more waste"

Or

"This situation leads to the production of more waste"?

Also,

"Such an implementation may result in generating unnecessary waste"

Or

"Such an implementation may result in the generation of unnecessary waste"

The first set of sentences use the Ving and the second set use the Noun. Are both possible? Or is one better than the other and what is the reason for this. Thanks.

Stick to the first (and shortest) sentence, though the second is probably the best.

There's a difference between a "situation" and the "implementation of something". Which one is relevant to your context?

Well, could you comment on both? I'm keen to know all the nuances involved.

Thanks.

The situation could be the result of the implementation of something.
'Such an implementation may result in a situation where unnecessary waste is generated.'

Not a teacher.
