Circulation of waste resources to realize a sustainable circular economy
RE:USE is a initiative intended to reduce, recycle and reuse all wastes generated throughout the entire value chain from manufacturing, retailing to consumption of products. We are conducting various projects such as planning of products that minimize the generation of waste, developing products made of recyclable materials and reuse of resources through collaboration with second-hand item distribution platforms to contribute to waste reduction.
Minimization of Waste We design our PB products to make sure that unnecessary waste is not generated from the product planning stage based on the thought that ‘the best way is not to generate waste from the beginning’. We launch products that do not generate unnecessary waste such as canned ham without plastic cover, sparking water without plastic label and ice pack filled only with water, minimizing negative impact on the environment and minimizing the waste of resources.
Making Products with Recycled Materials We are producing various products by recycling waste as part of our efforts to promote resource circulation to make the earth cleaner. In 2021, we launched clothes, bedding, foot mat made of recycled PET bottles and living room slippers made of scrap sponge. We will continue our effort to contribute to virtuous cycle of resources by launching various products using recycled materials.
Creating Environment for Shared Growth
RE:VIVE is an initiative intended to vitalize circular economy, creating a healthy value chain throughout the retail circle from production to sales. LOTTE Shopping is making an effort to establish and strengthen ESG engagement by investing in companies related to second-hand item transaction and issuing ESG bonds to partners. LOTTE Shopping will continue to make active investment and support to create environment for shared growth that can satisfy various stakeholders including partners.
