Asahi You Us Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, President: Yukako Mori) will participate in the planning and operation of the "Kanagawa Plastics College" implemented by Kanagawa Prefecture. This project will recruit support groups from May 8 to June 8.
"Kanagawa Plastics College" is an initiative to promote the reduction of plastic waste in dining settings under the "Kanagawa Zero Plastic Waste Declaration" set by Kanagawa Prefecture. It solicits ideas for reducing plastic waste from groups composed mainly of students enrolled in universities, junior colleges, and vocational schools based in Kanagawa Prefecture, and supports the demonstration experiments of the selected proposals. Utilizing the knowledge and networks cultivated so far, our company will provide support tailored to each stage, such as plan formulation, progress management, and information dissemination by the support groups. The results of the demonstration experiments are scheduled to be announced at the "Kanagawa Plastic Waste Reduction Online Forum" planned for February 2027. Through the planning and operation of this project, our company will back the practice and social implementation of plastic waste reduction within Kanagawa Prefecture.
Asahi You Us was established in January 2022 as a company responsible for new sustainability-related businesses within the Asahi Group. We have been developing products such as the reusable "Mori no Tumbler" and craft beers made from underutilized ingredients. In April 2026, we established the new "Co-creation Design Department". This department will systematically organize the practical knowledge that Asahi You Us has cultivated centered around food, sustainability, and local communities, and build a foundation to connect it to mechanisms and products that utilize local resources. Through collaboration with governments, universities, and corporations, we will contribute to the realization of a circular local economy.
