    Japan is the last place I'd expect them. That country is atrocious when it comes to plastic garbage. Everything is wrapped in plastics, quite often multiple times. Even stuff that's literally not needed to be wrapped. Or things that are just not needed in general, like, peeled fruit, packaged in plastic to stay fresh.

      They are also remarkably light on littering, so it doesn’t make sense for them to use cap tethers for litter prevention either.

    Ah okay, I must be remembering wrong.

    I do however remember the separation of recyclables being fairly confusing for Westerners.
