Group Hotels Including KOKO HOTELS Launch Clothing and Miscellaneous Goods Collection Service "R-LOOP" at 28 Facilities, Aiming for a Circular Society with Customers

Polaris Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Yohei Taguchi) has newly introduced the clothing and miscellaneous goods collection service "R-LOOP (Aarurūpu)" at 28 target hotel facilities nationwide, as part of its initiatives to realize a circular society. This service is available at group hotels, including KOKO HOTELS.

"R-LOOP" is a resource circulation platform that collects unwanted clothing and miscellaneous goods in dedicated collection boxes and connects them to reuse and recycling. By providing a system that allows customers to easily participate in environmental contribution during their hotel stays, we aim to make the "choice not to discard" a familiar concept not only in daily life but also while traveling.

Our group views hotels not just as places to stay, but as hubs that connect with the local community and society. Through this initiative, we will raise awareness of resource circulation together with our guests and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
