Putrescibles.
Garbage is universal, yet unique in all parts of the world. Not only is the content of garbage different in all parts of the world, but also where and/or how garbage comes to rest. These days, in our ever growing world population, waste management has become a very important issue. In South Korea, where population density is high, land is limited and valuable; consumables can't be piled high at the end of life. Therefore modern waste management sorting techniques have been implemented. Putrescible food waste and recyclables are separated, while absolute trash is sent to the incinerator for power generation. Recycling is free, food waste bags are cheap, garbage fees are collected at the point of purchase of specific garbage bags, and fines are implemented to discourage cheating the system.
