FUKU BATON: The Flea Market Revolutionizing Sustainable Fashion

In the heart of Tokyo, a revolutionary event is set to take place on May 17, 2025. Hosted by Lenet, a leading宅配クリーニング service, the FUKU BATON flea market aims to champion sustainable fashion by promoting the reuse of clothing rather than its disposal. This initiative seeks to combat the growing issue of fashion waste, particularly prevalent as we transition between seasons.

The Problem of Fashion Waste

As the weather changes, many begin the seasonal ritual of cleaning out their closets. It's common to find those items no longer worn, but often, the easy choice is to throw these garments away. The environmental implications of this habit are staggering. According to the Ministry of the Environment in Japan, approximately 1,200 tons of clothing are incinerated or landfilled daily, equivalent to the capacity of about 120 large trucks.

Recognizing the pressing need for change, Lenet decided to host the FUKU BATON flea market during the spring wardrobe transition, providing a platform where individuals can pass on their unwanted garments instead of discarding them. The goal is simple yet impactful: by extending the lifespan of clothing by just one year per person, we could reduce waste by over 40,000 tons across the country.

The Vision Behind FUKU BATON

The concept behind FUKU BATON revolves around the notion that clothing can continue its journey beyond one owner. The event encourages attendees to:

• - Share their unused garments with others.
• - Explore and enjoy the joys of reusable fashion.
• - Learn about proper garment care to ensure longevity.

The overarching desire is to create a lasting connection between clothing and individuals, positing that each piece has the potential to bring joy to another.
