Shinyurigaoka OPA Incorporates Customers' 'Beloved Cosmetics' into Interior Decoration, Upcycling Waste Cosmetics into Building Materials for Construction

OPA Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Daisuke Ono; hereinafter: the Company), which operates the commercial facility "Shinyurigaoka OPA" (hereinafter: the Facility), has collaborated with Man-gata Co., Ltd. (hereinafter: Man-gata) and Fukuvi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter: Fukuvi Chemical Industry) in a three-company partnership. Through this collaboration, waste cosmetics collected from customers within the facility have been upcycled into building materials and incorporated into the interior decoration. This initiative addresses the issue of "waste cosmetics" faced by the cosmetics industry and cosmetic users, with the Facility acting as a hub to integrate the technologies of each company. It is an attempt to visualize the resource circulation process as "interior decoration" and to carefully inherit customers' "feelings" as part of the facility.

■ Implementation Details: "Resource Circulation" Blending into Daily Life

Building materials infused with new life from waste cosmetics have been adopted as part of the interior decoration on the 2nd floor.

1. [Main Installation] 2F Restroom Vanity (Powder Room)

The vibrant colors and the sparkle of glitter and pearls inherent in cosmetics are beautifully reproduced, brightening the entire space and adding an elegant atmosphere.

This expresses a new form of sustainability unique to Shinyurigaoka OPA, where one's reflection in the mirror confronts the former colors embedded in the wall.

2. [Story Exhibition] 2F Restroom Entrance Resting Space

Mini tiles made from the same building materials used in the 2F men's and women's restroom vanities are displayed within a frame of "ribbed cosmetic building materials" that sparkle with glitter and pearls depending on the angle of light.

This also serves as a "color sample," allowing visitors to see the colors that adorn spaces they normally cannot enter. It represents the beauty of the facility as a symbol where diverse individualities coexist.

■ A "Tangible" Process Created Together with Customers

In September 2025, a "Cosmetic Scraping Workshop" was held in collaboration with Man-gata, where customers experienced scraping out and sorting cosmetics from their containers themselves.

The contents of these hand-collected cosmetics were processed into coloring materials by Man-gata, and combined with Fukuvi Chemical Industry's technology, resulting in the birth of unique building materials with an unparalleled texture.

■ Background of this Initiative and the Roles of the Three Companies

【 Man-gata Co., Ltd.: Resource Conversion / Color Material Manufacturing (Giving New Life to Waste Cosmetics) 】

Based on the philosophy of "fun and 100% effective utilization of manufactured goods," Man-gata adds new value (upcycles) to cosmetics that would otherwise be discarded. Through its unique technology, it refines used cosmetics into "bulk raw materials" that can be used for coloring building materials and other applications. Through its flagship brand "SminkArt," Man-gata proposes a sustainable creative experience that transforms the "wasteful" guilt of disposal into the "joy of creation (UX)."

【 Fukuvi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.: Building Material Manufacturing / Revaluation (Transforming Waste into Valuable Materials) 】

As a manufacturer specializing in the development and production of building materials, Fukuvi Chemical Industry has brought together its long-cultivated resin molding technology and expertise.

It has elevated cosmetic-derived raw materials, processed into resources by Man-gata, into high-quality building materials suitable for interior decoration. By leveraging the unique sparkle and design of the materials while ensuring the durability and workability required in actual spaces, Fukuvi Chemical Industry realizes "Revalue," transforming waste into valuable materials. Through its internal certification system "Fukuvalue," the company promotes environmentally friendly manufacturing.

【 Shinyurigaoka OPA: Production / Reintegration (Connecting as a Local Story) 】

As a community hub, Shinyurigaoka OPA produces a sustainable space that connects the advanced technologies and philosophies of its two partners into a "local story," circulating resources together with customers. Beyond merely providing a location, it carefully reintegrates the sentiments of each individual who participated in cosmetic collection and workshops as interior decoration. By elevating former beloved cosmetics into a part of the facility, it creates a new form of regional collaboration where affection continues to circulate.
