Overview of the Initiative

F-Pico and Daiei are dedicated to becoming eco-leaders in their regions. Customers can bring used food trays to Daiei stores, where they will be collected for recycling. These trays will subsequently be transformed into eco-friendly products, including eco-trays and eco-oriented packaging materials. This 'Store to Store' system creates a sustainable cycle connecting stores that collect used items with those that sell recycled eco-products. Both companies aspire to enhance and expand this collaborative effort with customers, contributing positively to environmental resource management and CO2 emission reduction.

Eco-friendly products such as 'Eco Trays', 'Eco APET', and 'Eco OPET' will be developed from the recycled materials, ensuring a commitment to sustainability.
