What we aim for

As the problem of plastic waste becomes more serious, we aim to reduce plastic waste from stores by replacing "disposable containers" with "reusable containers."

In addition, we believe that by making it a common initiative of multiple stores rather than a single store, we will improve convenience for users and increase the response from those around us.

As understanding of the small efforts of aspiring stores spreads, a small cycle by the store's fans will expand. Ideally, this circle will expand as interaction between multiple stores and their fans is created.

As the number of stores and users who agree with us increases, we will expand the scope of our efforts, and our ultimate goal is to create a society in which Repaco is circulating everywhere in Shiga Prefecture. By that time, we are sure that we will have Repaco in many different sizes and shapes.

We are just getting started, and we would like to ask for your warm support of our challenge.

About the container

We were also particular about the container. It is a biomass plastic product that fuses natural cypress wood powder with plastic, which has an antibacterial effect. We reduce the amount of plastic used in the manufacturing process by about 50%. In addition, this cypress wood powder is made from wood chips generated in the manufacturing process of woodworking manufacturers.

We adopted this container since it is compatible with microwave ovens and dishwashers.
