You all know UNIQLO ユニクロ or GU right?
Have you heard about them before?
This company is a fast growing company, even though the asset and profits of the company is large, they don’t keep it to themselves but share it to the people around the world and teach customers a good lesson to Recycle and Reuse!
Everywhere you see this fast retailing store, you will surely see this white box which says, 全商品リサイクル (Zen Shouhin Risaikuru) All the recycle products.
Since the company had launched this idea, it has been a habit of the Japanese to Recycle and Reuse!
Clothes that are not used anymore can be put it into this box to give to someone in need.
Or if the quality is poor, it can be recycled and made into a new product.
Not only in clothing though.
Example, here in Japan, if you have some furniture (mattress) you don’t want to use anymore so you decide to throw it away.
People don’t just throw stuff to the dustbin.
May be in other countries you can just dispose in the dust bin.
But here if you want to throw big stuff of even like a rice cooker you must pay for 1000yen!
It’s a waste isn’t?
So people are used to the idea that if we don’t want things we can give it to others or sell to them with a cheaper price.
That has been kind of a habit in Japan...which I think is a good one.
Should we do that too in our countries?
I think we wouldn’t have problems regarding trash right?
Let’s save earth like Japan does! :)
