Zero Waste Certification Items
During delivery, we use reusable materials and simpler packaging to reduce waste.
By working with our suppliers, we have eliminated individual packaging at the time of purchase. After importing, we are able to use reusable packaging by wrapping the products in cloth when receiving them from the inspection company. When consigning products, we use reusable trunks, and minimize the amount of packaging used when shipping to customers.
We incorporate and utilize unused resources that would become waste if left as is, as well as materials that can be repaired and recycled, into our stores.
The store is located in a vacant property that has been renovated, making maximum use of fixtures that were originally in the property and old materials that were donated to the store. The store is also committed to using equipment that is easy to repair, maintain, and recycle, such as racks that can be easily removed and collapsible tables.
The store actively stocks products that utilize recycled and upcycled materials.

Zero Waste Japan General Incorporated Association
In addition to the conventional recycling-centered "no waste" model, we are also working on a "no waste generation" model (a circular production, distribution, and sales model and product design for that purpose).
We aim to make "zero waste" a global standard, and create opportunities to put "zero waste" into practice with stakeholders in both the public and private sectors. We support municipalities, regions, and companies in shifting to waste reduction and resource circulation systems.
