Since the domestic waste recycling system was established in Germany in 1991, measures such as sorting domestic waste and taking back the outer packaging of its products after consumption have been deeply rooted in Germany, and recycling has become a living habit of Germans.

Germans usually bring their own cloth shopping bags when they go shopping. They usually put several different garbage bins at home, and usually divide the garbage into various categories such as recyclable plastic, glass and paper. Heck Schiefler of Green Point, Germany's leading domestic waste recycling company, said that for Germans, garbage sorting has become "as common as brushing your teeth".

Germans believe that recycling is crucial to environmental protection, and that Germany is far ahead of other countries in this respect. They are "doing some concrete things for environmental protection in their daily lives" through garbage classification.
