The Paper Recycling Promotion Center (located in Chuo-ku, Tokyo) exhibited an experiential booth for paper recycling at the Rugby League One "NEC Green Rockets Tokatsu" home game venue (Kashiwanoha Park General Athletic Stadium) held on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Approximately 100 parents and children participated, deepening their understanding of paper sorting while having fun.
This initiative was realized with the cooperation of Saito Eiji Shoten Co., Ltd. (Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture), the match day partner for the NEC Green Rockets Tokatsu home game.
## Learning While Having Fun: 'Shooting x Sorting' Experience
On the day of the event, an experiential content utilizing a shooting game was implemented. Participants aimed at waste paper lined up on a shooting stand and considered where the hit paper should be sorted among the five categories: newspapers, magazines, cardboard, paper cartons, and miscellaneous paper.
By naturally encountering sorting rules while playing, the content became enjoyable and educational for both children and adults.
Approximately 100 parents and children participated on the day, and the booth was bustling throughout. Participants were also given "miscellaneous paper awareness bags" to promote miscellaneous paper sorting at home, an effort designed to lead to action after the event.
Participants commented, "It was fun like a game. I want to do it again!" and "I learned for the first time that toilet paper rolls can also be recycled!" The center will continue to widely disseminate the importance of proper sorting and recycling of waste paper, especially the resource recovery of "miscellaneous paper," through future events and collaborations with companies and communities.
