Tricycle Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Koichi Yamada, hereinafter 'Tricycle'), a Cyclers Group company pursuing a circular economy to build a sustainable and affluent society, and Yamori Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shotaro Fujisawa, hereinafter 'Yamori') announce that they have concluded a business alliance agreement on April 1, 2026. Through this alliance, the companies aim to promote the utilization of secondhand recycled goods at vacant house renovation sites, achieving both resource circulation and a reduction in environmental impact.
Tricycle operates its business with the belief that diverse value—such as parts, materials, and brands—remains in products even after use. It aims to realize 'multi-value circulation' that connects value rather than 'throwing it away'. Through reuse and recycling, Tricycle gives new value to items that would have otherwise been discarded, striving to build a sustainable society. Its strength lies in its stance of socially implementing circular mechanisms, tackling social issues from the perspectives of both reducing environmental impact and effectively utilizing resources.
On the other hand, Yamori has renovated a total of 250 vacant houses to date. By managing them as valuable real estate intended for long-term holding, Yamori works to pass on the housing stock dormant in local communities to the next generation. A defining characteristic is that Yamori does not just utilize vacant houses, but emphasizes re-evaluating the value of existing buildings to create sustainable living environments. Based on the philosophy of 'saving by utilizing' rather than 'destroying and ending', Yamori practices vacant house renovation that is considerate of local communities and the environment.
In this partnership, secondhand recycled goods handled by the reuse matching platform 'ReSACO' operated by Tricycle will be provided to landlords and owners associated with Yamori. Additionally, these goods will be reused in Yamori's rental and vacation rental (minpaku) properties. By recirculating items that are still fully usable—such as furniture, fixtures, and various equipment—they will promote waste reduction and the effective use of resources. Toward the materialization of this collaboration, the two companies are considering the following initiatives:
1. Provision of Reused Goods to Affordable Housing and Minpaku Properties Operated by Yamori
They will provide reused items (including unused items) such as furniture, home appliances, and housing equipment to affordable rental properties renovated from vacant houses owned by Yamori, as well as to minpaku and monthly rental properties utilizing vacant houses. Given the high number of family tenants, they plan to introduce items like air purifiers and air conditioners.
The concept is to streamline the initial stages of vacant house renovation: Yamori will handle property discovery and attracting investors/owners, while Tricycle will integrally handle the removal of leftover items, collection of secondhand goods, remodeling, purchasing/disposal of metals, and the sorting and collection of reusable items.
2. Utilization of the Reuse Matching Platform 'ReSACO' etc., for Yamori Customers
Providing the platform to approximately 2,500 real estate owners who are Yamori customers...
