On January 17th (Saturday), we conducted a litter cleanup activity in collaboration with the NPO HAPPY PLANET.
Eight people, including employee volunteers, spent about an hour working near Hisaya-Odori Park in front of the company headquarters, collecting approximately 63 kg of trash, including plastic bottles, empty cans, and cigarette butts.

Our company supports "SmaGO," an IoT smart trash can installed along Omotesando in Tokyo.
Starting in January 2026, our new winter collection with a fresh design has begun. With this new look, we will continue to create new value for society and aim to realize a sustainable society and a society that embraces diversity.
As with previous designs, this one also incorporates artwork created by Heralbony's contracted artists.

SmaGO is an IoT smart trash can that operates on solar power, eliminating the need for an external power source. It automatically compresses trash to about 1/5 of its original volume when full, and can hold up to approximately 600 liters of trash, preventing overflow and reducing the frequency of trash collection. Furthermore, its communication function allows for real-time management and analysis of trash accumulation status on the cloud, enabling efficient trash collection and reducing collection costs and CO2 emissions associated with collection operations.
