The certified NPO, Japan Committee for Vaccines for the World's Children (JCV), is hosting its 4th annual '#CapAction' campaign during Environment Month this June. The campaign will run for one month, from Monday, June 1, 2026, to Tuesday, June 30, 2026.
By posting photos or videos featuring plastic bottle caps on social media (Instagram, X, Threads) with the hashtag '#CapAction,' participants contribute to vaccine support for one child per post, funded through corporate sponsors. This easy-to-join initiative has grown annually, reaching 15,357 posts last year—an increase of approximately 4,000 from the previous year.
Furthermore, the caps used in the campaign can be handed over to recycling centers or collection points at supermarkets. They are recycled into plastic materials, and a portion of the proceeds is donated to vaccine support. This campaign promotes both life-saving vaccinations and environmental protection through recycling. We invite everyone to participate.
