Introduction
Credibility I have been fascinated by the Japan environment through what I watch
from YouTube videos about Japan and news about the flood in Japan
that was really clean.
Background of topic After going through the article and videos, I will share about the ways
Japan Government reduced their waste through the recycling and
technology. Provide related graph to support the topic.
Central Idea The reason why Japan have good waste management is because:
1. Environmental education on 3R’s
2. Technology used to reduce the waste
Body
(Describing chart[s] and/or graph[s])

(Graph 1)
2. Related law to the Environmental education through 3R’s is The
Basic Recycling Act that was first enacted in 2000. This act focused
on the 3R’s and the proper waste management. In addition, since
2000 to 2013 about 10 Act are enacted for promoting the 3R
measures, strengthening illegal dumping regulation and
enhancement of waste management.
3. After the law enacted, the awareness about the 3R’s is spread to
communities through programs. Recycling guide is given to citizens
to sort household trash.
Analysis of data 4. From the data we know that the importance of recycling in Japan is
becoming stricter than the year before. According to the Mekonnen
(Graph 1) & Tokai (2020), the recycling volume increased from 267000 in
1990 tonnes to 868000 tonnes in 2017.
5. Japan gain positive results from the Law enacted because the
citizens follow the rules. Beside that, the landfill can be reduced and
more waste can be recycle. There is slogan related to recycle which
is ‘If it’s mixed, it’s waste but if it’s sorted, it’s a resource’.
II. Description of data 1. Another way on how Japan manage their waste is through the
incineration plant. Incineration is a method to burn waste. There
(Graph 2) are many incineration plant in Japan even in the residential
area, shopping and entertainment area. For instance, the
Toshima Incineration plant.
Conclusion
Recommendation I hope our country can develop this good habits to make sure Malaysia
can be one of the top cleanest country too, for now, our country is in
67th place in the world cleanest country.
