Fukushima, Japan, is set to introduce a controversial policy that will publicly identify individuals and businesses for failing to comply with strict trash disposal regulations. Starting in March, city workers will inspect non-compliant garbage bags and may reveal the names of offenders after warnings. The initiative aims to enhance waste management and encourage proper sorting, amid Japan’s longstanding commitment to recycling and waste reduction. The decision follows years of escalating violations, with over 9,000 cases reported last year alone.
