PAX TOPOLOGY Launches Circular Economy Experiment at Yaechika Station

PAX TOPOLOGY Launches Circular Economy Experiment at Yaechika Station



PAX TOPOLOGY, a Tokyo-based startup specializing in circular economy solutions, has started an experimental initiative aimed at verifying the effectiveness of its platform, 'Yuyuu Market.' This experiment, conducted in collaboration with Yaesu Service Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Plaza Service Co., Ltd., focuses on enhancing resource circulation management by visualizing unused assets within the company.

Understanding the Background


In expansive commercial centers and underground shopping areas like ‘Yaechika,’ various cleaning and security equipment, as well as office items, are utilized daily. However, the management of these facilities often encounters challenges due to a lack of visibility concerning who holds what items across multiple locations. This obscurity complicates the procurement and disposal decisions in a business context, leading to inefficiencies.

About 'Yuyuu Market'


'Yuyuu Market’ serves as a digital platform to make unused assets within organizations visible, thus fostering circular reuse. It enables staff members to intuitively browse and discover these assets much like an e-commerce site, leading to experiences where it becomes quicker and more convenient to source internally rather than purchasing new items.

Key Features of 'Yuyuu Market'


1. Frictionless Marketplace: The platform digitizes the catalog of assets held by companies, supporting ease of access through AI-driven item listing functionalities, including image recognition technology.
2. Economic Decision-Making with AI: The system automates decisions on whether to transport or dispose of items by learning the break-even points for different assets, blocking transactions that would undermine economic efficiency through reuse.
3. GHG Emission Reduction Calculation: The platform automatically computes the CO2 emissions avoided through the reuse of products classified under Scope 3 (Categories 1 and 5).

Overview of the Experimental Project


The current experiment focuses on the cleaning and security stations and related backroom storage areas within the underground shopping complex.
  • - Duration: May 11, 2026 – June 30, 2026 (Approximately two months)
  • - Location: Cleaning and security points within the underground shopping area and associated backrooms
  • - Target Items: Cleaning tools (such as polishers, high-pressure cleaners, and vacuum cleaners), security items (cones, uniforms, information boards), and office supplies (e.g., pipe chairs, lockers)

The primary goals include:
  • - Digitally cataloging inventory equipment and materials within the business.
  • - Improving the efficiency of the procurement process for unused assets across multiple locations.
  • - Calculating the financial savings from reduced new procurement and disposal costs.

Future Prospects


With the data and operational insights gained from this experiment, PAX TOPOLOGY aims to expand horizontally to various related avenues, including service provision to other large-scale commercial facilities and building management companies. The vision for 'Yuyuu Market' is to transform backroom spaces from mere cost centers into valuable decentralized warehouses, establishing a sustainable infrastructure where all fixed assets of enterprises become liquid.
