Examples of Circular Economy Resource Recycling

1. Participation in the GUNPLA RECYCLING PROJECT

In collaboration with the Bandai Namco Group, Joshin participated in the GUNPLA RECYCLING PROJECT. This campaign collects and recycles the plastic frame parts from Gundam series model kits, transforming them into new plastic model products. On April 1, a collection box for this project was set up at the Super Kids Land Main Store. During this time, we also sold ECOPLA, a new type of model kit created from recycled plastic, which was received positively by many customers.

2. Pilot Program Launched for the “Japan Plastic Bottle Cap Recycling Project”

As part of our efforts to help build a recycling-based society, we launched a pilot program at our head office building to promote the recycling of plastic bottle caps within Japan. In collaboration with SUPERMATE CORPORATION, the collected caps are recycled and reused as part of the shopping baskets used in our stores.

3. Collection of Air-cushioning Material

In collaboration with Putiputi Co., Ltd. we are conducting closedloop recycling of the company’s air-cushioning material, PUTIPUTI. Putiputi Co., Ltd. collects used air-cushioning material that we no longer need and uses it as raw material for PUTIPUTI.

     We then purchase PUTIPUTI made from the recycled material, completing the closed-loop recycling process.
