Japan Photo #36 Answer

Finally here's the answer to Japan Photo #36.

"plastic". It denotes that the product it is on can be put into the "pura" rubbish for recycling.

It is everywhere, and evidence that we've lived here too long is that I almost didn't consider it as a candidate for this Photo Quiz!

In white on a Milo packet.

And here it is on a Nutella bottle. The words next to it lets us know that we can put both the bottle and the lid into the "pura" rubbish.
