The Nitori Group aims to be a company that considers the "after use" phase, promoting recycling collection to solve customers' disposal problems and protect limited resources. We want customers to feel secure enjoying their next purchase by bringing their beloved products to Nitori "anytime" after use to contribute to resource circulation.
Regarding small appliances, we receive many concerns such as "I don't know how to dispose of them," "It's troublesome and costly," and "It's a waste if it's still usable." Furthermore, while they contain many resources, the collection rate is low, often leading to items being left unused at home or improperly disposed of, posing social challenges in terms of resource circulation, safety, and environmental protection.
Against this background, we will provide free recycling collection for unwanted small appliances of the same item and quantity for customers who purchased small appliances at Nitori stores or Nitori Net. Of course, products from other companies are also eligible for collection.
Collected small appliances will be carefully handled with the customer's sentiments, reused as products, or separated by material and recycled as resources.
The Nitori Group is focusing on home appliance development as its fourth pillar, following furniture, bedding, curtains, and daily necessities, and is promoting proposals for total coordination where customers can find products to enrich their lives in one place. Customers considering purchasing small appliances are encouraged to bring their "after use" small appliances to an eligible store near them at this opportunity.
Please check the eligible small appliances and eligible stores before participating.
