Kamikatsu, a Japanese people who want to eliminate all waste
A small town in the middle of mountains of Shikoku island wants to become a benchmark in global recycling. According to the Zero Waste Project, the region aims to eliminate all waste by 2020. Kamikatsu
Without doubt, this is a difficult project implementation in large cities. But anyway, nothing detracts from the achievements of the inhabitants of Kamikatsu.
seven years ago, a trash incinerator that was installed in 1998 could not meet the levels of dioxin control. That was when the mayor decided to close the incinerator and promote the draft. As explained
The Country The locals began in 2002 to make their own organic waste into fertilizer and spread the remaining waste in 44 categories. This task, which each resident does in her home, managed to replace the use of garbage trucks and containers. Instead, they installed a single delivery center, the Zero Waste Academy, where people must take their trash.
To achieve this, the municipality of Kamikatsu had to educate its 2,000 residents about recycling: how to separate the container labels and how to properly drain the fluid contaminating the engine of a car were some of the concepts taught. As an incentive, residents received lottery tickets and gift vouchers food.
Each household has a unit, mostly funded by the state, which allows for recycling of organic waste and turn it into compost, which is reused in many people's gardens.
worth noting that those who can not take their waste to the Academy have the help of Kamikatsu Recycle volunteers who removed trash at home.
the past four years, Kamikatsu could reduce waste by burning removed 50% and increased recycled waste to 90%. A villager, Keiko Akiyama, says: "At first I thought it was a cumbersome method, but is now part of my routine. Knowing that the waste generated is reused properly motivates me to comply with the guidelines of classification. "
