What’s some amazing technology they have in Japan that’s very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world?

mcdo with their cellphone cleaners

wrt US, I guess they shoot butts and not children?

also I heard Japan recycling laws are effective compared to US counterparts.

People from the US will be surprised how far the rest of the western world, and high tech eastern Asia, are ahead of the states in terms of recycling and infrastructure.

Seriously, even Europe is so far ahead it’s not even funny

Europe is probably furthest in recycling, but again, it’s very different from country to country.

I was in Toronto’s Union Station during civid and they also had UV phone disinfection machines. It was impressive.

Eh, we separate a lot of our trash, but what actually gets recycled (and whether you consider incinerating waste to generate electricity as ‘recycling’) can be disappointing.
