～Working with the Next Generation to Realize a Circular Society Through Clothing～ Hirakata City Ogura Elementary School × 'World Ecormo Campaign' Children Take the Lead in Implementing Clothing Collection and Workshops

World Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kobe City, President and CEO: Nobuteru Suzuki) and Hirakata City Ogura Elementary School (Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture) conducted the 'World Ecormo Campaign,' a clothing collection activity led by students, and an upcycling learning workshop from September 2025 to January 2026.

This initiative was part of the 4th graders' comprehensive studies on "Social Contribution We Can Do." The proceeds from the collected clothing's reuse and recycling will be fully donated to Hirakata City Central Library's "Project to Deliver Books to Children," contributing to the improvement of the local reading environment. Through this collaboration, children learned the importance of resource circulation through fashion and gained experience in supporting their local community through their own actions.
