About Megloo What is Megloo? “It’s time to put out garbage when taking out.” Megloo reduces the need for disposable containers when taking out by sharing reusable containers that are common in the region. In addition to reducing waste from takeout containers, restaurants can also share reusable containers between stores, leading to cost reductions for takeout containers. The name Megloo has the meaning of “containers go around” and the idea that the feelings of gratitude such as “Thank you” and “Thank you” go around in the community. Launched in Kamakura in October 2020, it has been implemented in 20 cities nationwide, and its use will also expand to sports events and festivals. URL: https://megloo.jp/
