How much do Japanese people love cleanliness? Check out these trash bag designs!

In Japan, whether it is home, company, or other public places, they will be kept spotless. They are a nation that loves cleanliness and tidiness. So how much do Japanese people love cleanliness?

?In Japan, garbage disposal stations are called resource recycling stations. After sorting and processing, the garbage is turned into treasure. Some are used for thermal power generation, some are used to build steam swimming pools, and metals are extracted from the garbage as raw materials. The remaining garbage is used for road paving and reclamation. Japan's garbage recycling is very meticulous. For example, a cigarette box must be discarded into three categories.

Japan’s garbage collection time is fixed. Residents will place garbage bags on the street in the early morning of the recycling day and pile them into a small hill. As a result, Japanese design studio MAQ launched an activity called "Garbage Bag Art Work" with two purposes: one is to turn garbage collection points into scenery that decorates street corners, and the other is to make the small matter of throwing garbage into interesting.

1. Morishita Project

MAQ Studio distributed 5,000 garbage bags for use at 99 garbage collection points. A post-event questionnaire showed that nearly 70% of residents felt happy when using artistic garbage bags to throw away garbage. Green represents recyclable garbage, blue represents non-burnable garbage, and red represents combustible garbage.

2. Take the trash home happily project

After the picnic, will you take your trash away? This cute little bunny trash bag was created to encourage everyone to take away their trash. The tied garbage bag handles are like the two ears of a rabbit, and the garbage bag can also give people a cute look.
