Takashimaya's Innovative Recycling Campaign

Starting October 1, 2023, Takashimaya has broadened its Depart de Loop recycling campaign beyond its physical stores for the first time, allowing participants to contribute not only in-store but also through online shopping and catalog services. This initiative marks a significant commitment by Takashimaya to promote a circular economy, where waste is minimized and resources are utilized more effectively.

Details of the Campaign

The Depart de Loop recycling campaign will run from October 1 to October 28, 2023, across 13 Takashimaya stores. During this period, customers can bring various items such as clothing (including denim, cashmere, and business suits), cosmetics, and down comforters for recycling. In exchange for their contributions, participants will receive shopping vouchers worth 500 yen, which can be used in Takashimaya stores based on the number of items collected, up to a maximum of four vouchers per person.

How Does It Work?

The vouchers are awarded as follows:

• - One voucher for each item recycled.
• - A limit of four vouchers per individual, while there is no cap on the number of items that can be recycled.
• - Vouchers will be valid from October 1, 2025, to November 30, 2025, with the stipulation that one voucher may be used for every purchase of 5,000 yen or more.

In addition to the in-store campaign, Takashimaya will also facilitate recycling through its online shopping platforms and catalog mail-order services from October 1 to October 31, 2023. Customers can participate by returning relevant items via delivery, though shipping costs will be covered by the customer. This extension allows Takashimaya to reach a broader audience and encourage more people to participate in their sustainability efforts.

Special Offers for Online and Catalog Shoppers

• - Online and Catalog Coupon: During the recycling campaign period, customers who shop on the Takashimaya online store or through the catalog will receive special discounts:

- A 1,000 yen discount on purchases over 10,000 yen at the Takashimaya online store and Takashimaya Fashion Square.
- A 10% discount on any catalog-listed items for catalog mail orders.

These coupons, intended to encourage participation in the recycling initiative, can be utilized during the same valid period as the vouchers, from October 1 to November 30, 2025.

Takashimaya's Commitment to Sustainability

This campaign is part of Takashimaya's larger sustainable initiative known as TSUNAGU ACTION, which aims to foster a more sustainable future. This program engages with stakeholders to follow three core themes: "PLANET" for environmental stewardship, "SOCIAL" to preserve cultural heritage, and "PEOPLE" to promote freedom and equality for all. The Depart de Loop project aligns with this vision by collaborating with recycling organizations to create a responsible manufacturing cycle and reduce environmental burden.

Conclusion

Takashimaya's Depart de Loop recycling campaign signifies a progressive step towards achieving a circular society. By incentivizing recycling both in-store and online, the company is making significant strides in environmental sustainability while encouraging community engagement. With more chances for customers to participate, every little bit helps, making a positive impact on our planet for future generations.
