The types of sorting are: 1. “Great clothes” (favorite clothes that I worked hard to buy but don’t wear anymore), 2. “I can only see the potential” (I don’t wear them anymore, but I don’t want to wear them anymore, so I want someone to come and buy them). 3. “Goodbye. I’ll do something about it” (clothes that don’t make any sense, but I hope I can do something about it through rebirth). In collaboration with Book Off Corporation and BIOTECHWORKS-H2, the collected clothing will be returned to society through reuse and energy conversion. ▶About clothing that can be collected → “New/washed clothing” (T-shirts, shirts, Y-shirts, blouses, polo shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters, coats, Jackets, pants, jeans, dresses, skirts, children’s clothing, etc.) ▶ Regarding clothing that cannot be collected → “underwear, swimwear, kimono” etc. (Socks, tights, futons, blankets, bed pads, curtains, shoes, bags, belts, dirty items, etc.) [About precautions] *There will be no staff at the venue, so please put your clothing into the box yourself. *There is no upper limit to the number of clothing items that can be collected. *Items cannot be returned after being placed in the collection box. *Only clothing items that are no longer needed at home. *Please make sure that you do not have any valuables in your pockets etc. before bringing them.

Special site About the model demonstration project 1.Business overview Build a circular economy model based on shopping centers to reduce clothing waste. By leveraging the strengths of commercial facilities, such as connections with local communities, customers, and business operators, we will play the role of a “platformer” for creating a recycling-oriented apparel society, and with an eye on future growth in demand for recycled fibers, we will develop clothing products. By building a system to collect waste and hand it over to partners, we aim to reduce environmental impact and contribute to the supply chain. 2. Details of the demonstration project (targeted future business scheme) The role played by shopping centers 1. Expansion of collection bases We aim to create a society where “buying” and “collecting” become a set by setting up collection points in locations where users can easily participate. 2. Change in user awareness By collaborating with companies that provide various services, showing options for clothes that are no longer needed, and creating mechanisms and systems that allow people to enjoy not throwing away clothes, we will make it commonplace to not throw away clothes. 3. Handover to partner company We do not just collect products, but rather reduce the burden on venous industries as much as possible, collaborate with companies that can give back to society as materials such as recycled fibers, and collect and hand over materials that can be properly processed and recycled.
