How do Germans deal with garbage?

Since 199 1 Germany established the domestic waste recycling system, measures such as domestic waste classification and taking back its product packaging after consumption have been deeply rooted in Germany, and recycling has become a living habit of Germans.

Germans usually bring their own cloth shopping bags when they go shopping. They usually put several different trash cans at home, and usually divide the garbage into various categories such as recyclable plastic, glass and paper. Heck Schiefler of Green Point, a leading domestic waste recycling company in Germany, said that for Germans, garbage sorting has become "as common as brushing your teeth".

Germans believe that recycling is crucial to environmental protection, and Germany is far ahead of other countries in this respect. They are "doing some concrete things for environmental protection in daily life" through garbage sorting.
