Launch of the Sustainable Vending Machine at Perie Nishi-chiba Annex
Wako Co., based in Fuchu City, Tokyo, has unveiled a new initiative to promote sustainability through its next-generation vending machine project, "Pick Me Up," set to launch on September 10, 2025, at the Perie Nishi-chiba Annex, directly connected to JR Nishi-chiba Station. The innovative vending machine, known as
S:CUBE, features digital signage and has been redesigned to meet the demands of today’s environmentally-conscious consumers.
What is a Sustainable Spot?
The concept of a "Sustainable Spot" centers on selling items that are still good for consumption but may not be viable for traditional retail channels. This includes products nearing their expiration dates, surplus stock, or those that could not be sold due to imperfections. By facilitating this sales approach through vending machines, Wako Co. aims to address issues faced by manufacturers while increasing customer satisfaction through lower-priced options.
Expanding Locations for Innovative Vending Solutions
As part of its ambitious project, Wako is actively seeking to expand the presence of these vending machines. The current sites include five locations: "Pick Me Up" at KITTE Osaka, Take no Tsuka, Meidaimae Station on the Keio line, Perie Nishi-chiba Annex, and Lalaport Yokohama, with further expansions planned for the future. The company not only proposes suitable sites for vending machines but also handles everything from installation to maintenance, providing a one-stop solution for businesses wishing to enter this market.
For companies looking to invest in vending machines but facing challenges like a lack of installation space or operational difficulties, Wako Co. offers expert solutions. They assist businesses struggling with shelf space in supermarkets or those wanting to combine sales with promotions effectively.
