We often hear various words such as sustainable, eco-friendly, and environmentally friendly. Without thinking too hard, I want to live a simple and minimalistic lifestyle that is comfortable for me. Because it is comfortable, we can continue it and enrich our minds.
What can each of us enjoy and comfortably continue?
This time, we focus on one action, which can be done alone!
＊ Donate unused items to reuse & recycle boxes
Yes, we hear you - what happens after donation? Do they really get reused or recycled properly? We recommend these three - they are all clear and transparent in the utilization after collection.
✔︎ PASSTO
✔︎ BIOLOGIC LOOP
✔︎ R-LOOP
Even small actions can have a big impact.

PASSTO makes it easy to participate in circular activities by “PASS TO” (pass to the next person/future) your clothes and sundries.
Items collected:
● Clothing and fashion sundries
● Hobby items
● Tetra Pak paper containers
The number of places where PASSTO is available is increasing every day. Here is a map of where “PASSTO” boxes are located.
Our family takes our items to the Passto recycling stand on the 2nd floor of CIRTY in Daikanyama!

Helping to realize a “society that doesn't throw things away"
Textile products are recycled by BPLab's textile recycling.
Zoga is reused in cooperation with Book-Off.
Items collected:
● Shoes, bags, and other clothing accessories, household goods, and toys
● Clothing
R-LOOP, which offers consumers a new lifestyle of “choice not to throw away,” is a system that collects unwanted clothing and sundries by simply placing them in a designated box for easy reuse and recycling.
R-LOOP is currently installed at Book-Off stores nationwide, starting with 29 locations. It is the first of its kind in Japan for a municipality, and was installed in Sagamihara City Hall on November 1, 2024. The system is expected to be expanded gradually in the future.
