RECYCLING

We want to use the planet’s limited resources efficiently in delivering value to customers. Accordingly, we have been working to recycle more of our waste and to develop ecologically sustainable products and services. As an organization that provides products that are as accessible to as many people as possible, we also aim to promote individuated zero-waste lifestyles. We will engage partners and customers in our efforts to help build a circular economy, one that recycles and reuses rather than wastes.

Circular business guidelines: SUTENAI CIRCLE

One of our material issues is to contribute toward a circular economy with the ideal outcome being a scenario in which our collaboration with partners and customers leads to a zero-waste society. To achieve this outcome, we developed SUTENAI CIRCLE, a set of circular business guidelines, in 2023. The policy is designed to support closed-loop recycling through seven processes labeled A to G, especially use (D), collection (E), and recycling (F). Through communication with users and the venous industry, we will shift to truly circular products and roll out services for circulation.
