In this June 17, 2019, photo, plastic-bottled soft drinks are displayed in fridges at a Seven-Eleven store in Yokohama, near Tokyo. Japan has a plastic problem. Single bananas here are sometimes wrapped in plastic. So are individual pieces of vegetables, fruit, pastries, pens and cosmetics. Plastic-wrapped plastic spoons come with every ice cream cup.
