How does Japan deal with garbage? 

Japan is the best country on the planet in my opinion

I think they should be applying this to be every country, so that we don’t have to wait for 100 years to be sustainable

Nice educational video. Can you please come up with a video on how the government disposes them after collecting them? What happens to the food and liquid garbage? What happens to the recycables? It would be nice to see the whole process and not only the segregation. Also, at what age are Japanese trained to waste sort? Do they teach it in school too?

Good to see outside china in this channel and world need to follow up the best things around world

I never saw that many trees in Japan, but I was in Shinjuku.

Though in Japan they are putting lot of efforts to recycle plastics, efforts are not seen to REDUCE generation of plastics scrap. They should REFUSE to use the plastics as far as possible. If usage of plastics is reduced, obviously scrap generation will reduce. Hence, the efforts required for recycling will reduce. Comparatively this problem is very easy to tackle in country like India, where use of plastics and scrap generation itself is less.

Help the environment any way you can

My name is Mark C. Radosevich and I live N.E. of Durango, Colorado. I'm a 67 yr. old scientist and inventor of a biodegradable and extra profitable liquid fuel replacement for petroleum. This new higher mixed alcohol fuel is a synthetic blend of C1-C6 normal alcohols to include methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol and six carbon n-hexanol. This GTL (gas-to-liquids) synthesis technology [refinery chemistry set] has been in use for a hundred years in converting methane natural gas or solid coal into C1 methanol. My GTL system uses a totally different patented catalyst to produce six, eight or ten normal, synthetic alcohols instead of simply C1 methanol - and at 5x the efficiency of conversion which dovetails directly into its profitability. The first green herein are the profits which this fuel synthesis system will generate for its equity owners. The second green which drives me is its near-term benefits to Land, Water and Atmosphere. The U.S. EPA approved this new alcohol fuel for commercialization on September 20, 2001. This gas to liquids higher mixed alcohol technology began 45 years ago and still has not been commercialized. There exists a very large and definite controlling greed factor stymied by divisive patents to about one-half of the planet. I have been quietly working with this new and hidden fuel for the past 25 years. This new "Oxycarbon" mixed alcohol fuel contains just three atoms. Carbon, associated Hydrogen and new, missing Oxygen which is derived from H2O as hot steam. The chemical magic herein becomes the missing Oxygen atom which is not contained within Hydrocarbon [fossil oily] fuels of Nat/Gas, Crude OIL or solid Coal. This additional Oxygen atom does not contain any BTU's of combustion energy. Instead, it "fans the flames" to enable refined petroleum oils or ground coal or natural gas to combust far cleaner and provide more torque, fuel economy and a highly reduced emissions profile. The Oxygen atom also changes the polarity of the fuel molecule and instead of floating on water as ALL oils do (even edible oils) -- the new and stronger (less expensive) fuel alcohol is magnetically polarized to bind and dilute with water. This becomes the biodegradable aspect and the new alcohol fuel actually provides a free lunch to single celled [plant] phytoplankton & [animal] bacteria species and to all green living plants, trees, brush and grass. All of these living species consume the dilute alcohol fuel for lunch and pop off a water molecule. The chemistry is very simple, so simple that young children can interpret and understand it. I need investors to development a $50M tiny showcase demonstrating that society's solid waste garbage, sewer sludge, ground tires, beetle-killed pine, medical wastes and hazardous wastes become the source feed stock for Carbon & Hydrogen (instead of corn kernels) and such solid wastes are cleanly converted in a special Rotary Kiln Gasifier without a smokestack, thus no emissions. Imagine all of these nasty solid wastes being converted into a new, extra profitable, water soluble, biodegradable, oil soluble & coal soluble extra profitable biofuel without a smokestack, AND at negative cost per gallon as these solid waste feed-stocks come with a tipping fee for disposal. Right behind the next $50M scale of demonstration will become commercial sizes of mixed alcohol refinery systems beginning in the $350M to $500M range which zero their capital debt in their first year of operations. The Oil Industry is more interested in converting their abundant sources of Methane natural gas and CO2 into this same new biofuel. Thus this GTL system has two front ends, one gaseous the other being solid wastes. The latter is the most profitable. Using Methane Nat/Gas and CO2 as feed stock will produce the new liquid biodegradable fuel for about 35¢ per gallon. Gasifying the solid wastes of society without emissions and collecting a tipping fee will produce the new liquid biofuel for approximately a negative -35¢ per gallon. This is the answer to provide a replacement for fossil fuels and help mitigate air and ground pollution and global warming. Please pass this message on to those who care about humanities future.

What happens after the collection??? Hope they aren't like canada, aust, etc.simply export it to developing countries??

you didn't tell about the chips packet. In which category shoud i catergorized it?

Yeah but where does it go? Japan needs to cut the shit with the plastic. If you wanna use that much plastic, then it needs to be biodegradable like the corn based plastics.

Combustible waste seems to have a compostable component... Hope there will be composting on a large scale... Compost is great for gardening even in containers... It can be saleable...

Here we have garbage collected every day.

the real advanced country.

China is quite good at recycling too.The ammount of cash they take from all of the organs of jusf one Falun Gong practitioner is amazing!

And remember to correctly dispose of garbage otherwise Pickachu the Pokémon gets very Sad😆🙊

Good

小姐姐口语真棒啊！

Very good English! This should become the minimum standard

Japanese are some of the smartest, prettiest women

♻️Recycling garbage🗑 reserve Earth resources🌍💝

Beautiful host

2 million 757 thousand.

But organic garbage, is better for manure and plants. Not burned it

Excited Philippine

Americans buy it from McDonalds.

Philippine Monday only sad

Asians know how to sort out rubbish

Recycling sucks. The key is to consume damn less. Face it.

Just commenting to know that I have watched this video

Compostable, not combustible... 😊

Hola cito mi japonecito

2:46 two thousand seven hundred fifty seven thousand. Why not to say 2.7 million?

How much old dump that much reach tuff to dump

Hey I am going to make a company of green plants if someone need to help me just like

Biodegradable and non-biodegradable.

Rely

学过英文播音哈。

Well your accent is better than american

No se que dice :c

Lmao. All types of garbage is collected in one day in my Country. No PPE as well. No safety hahahaha

SOLVE THE PROBLEM ALREADY!! DON'T POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT!

我是被小姐姐的颜值吸引过来的！加油啊

我们日语也是的。你们中文也是。播音有点不一样。。感谢介绍我们近年来的习惯。。

So, what happens if a person has an Epileptic Siezure whilst taking out the garbage in Japan, which results in the epileptic dropping the garbage in the streets. Does the Epileptic person get fined for littering or get 5 years in hospital !!! LOL!☃️🙊🙉🙈🚑😃😄😁😆😂🤣
