Japan won’t be winning any gold medals with its current waste disposal and recycling programs, but the country may soon be a top contender for a podium position judging by the phenomenal rate of improvements seen within its waste disposal sector.
A study published by Japan’s John Olmsted titled “Recycling: More Efficient than the USA”, stated that currently, “Japanese trash pick-up is handled very differently than in the US.Instead of once a week, it is picked up almost daily. There are three main types of garbage which must be separated completely from each other: burnable, non-burnable, and recyclables.
The Official Tokyo Olympic website stated that between April 2017 and March 2019, approximately 78 985 tons of discarded devices were collected from the people of Japan. This includes about 6.21 million used mobile phones, along with digital cameras, hand-held games and laptops. These were then classified, categorised, dismantled and melted down by highly trained contractors.
