What is 'Store-to-Store' recycling?

It is a 'horizontal recycling' system where used food trays and transparent containers collected at stores are recycled into resources and reused as products (such as eco-trays) in the same store.

How effective have the efforts been so far?

In the fiscal year ending March 2025, approximately 165 tons of food trays were collected from all Shizutetsu Store locations, contributing to a reduction of 268 tons of CO2 emissions when combined with the use of eco-products.

What are you doing for environmental education for children?
