Waste Segregation - INI

Waste segregation is a classification system for household waste established by Japanese municipalities. It aims to separate waste into categories such as burnable waste, non-burnable waste, recyclable resources (cans, bottles, PET bottles), plastic containers and packaging, paper, and cardboard for recycling and proper disposal. While detailed classification criteria vary by municipality, the basic categories are common, contributing to environmental protection and effective resource utilization.
