Nishiyodogawa Ward — Local Waste Context

Nishiyodogawa Ward was at the epicentre of Japan's landmark 1970s–1990s air pollution lawsuits (西淀川大気汚染訴訟), which led to Japan's strengthened Environmental Basic Law (環境基本法, 1993). This environmental heritage is alive today: the ward operates the Aozora Foundation (あおぞら財団) environmental museum and has Japan's highest rate of household recycling compliance (91%) — residents take sorting very seriously here.
