Nihon Yamamura Glass Co., Ltd. (Hyogo Prefecture; President and Representative Director: Noboru Yamamura; hereinafter 'the Company') participated in the '2nd RE:FES,' a regional event centered in the Hirakata area of Osaka, held on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at the Keihan Kuzuha Station Square and Happiness Park KUZUHA Glass Square (organized by Keihan Ryutsu Systems Co., Ltd.).
The event is based on the theme of the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), which are fundamental to a circular society, and encourages visitor participation to foster local circularity. Various companies, students, and organizations participated, aiming to help each visitor experience and act on 'resource circulation' through activities such as collecting and reusing old clothes and unwanted items, selling eco-friendly products, conducting workshops, and showcasing sustainable initiatives created through collaboration between students, the community, and businesses.
The Company promotes the plastic recycling project 'RIN,' which focuses on transforming used PET bottle caps into new caps and other value-added products. We participated in this event to help people realize that PET bottle caps, which are often discarded casually, can be utilized as resources, and to make resource circulation feel like a familiar, everyday practice.
■ Event Highlights
On the day of the event, approximately 200 people visited our booth. Visitors experienced resource circulation through our 'Recycle Gacha,' a capsule toy machine that uses PET bottle caps instead of coins, and received commemorative medals made from upcycled PET bottle caps as prizes. Many people, from children to adults, enjoyed the Gacha and had the opportunity to learn about resource circulation in a fun way. Additionally, we collected 647 PET bottle caps.
The Company believes that PET bottle cap recycling relies on the actions of individual consumers, making public awareness crucial. We have continuously worked to raise awareness of PET bottle cap recycling and the RIN initiative through participation in various events. We will continue to collaborate with local communities to promote PET bottle cap recycling activities.
