(Headquarters: Kakogawa City, Hyogo Prefecture, Representative Director: Akiko Haruki), which operates a women’s apparel mail order company, will hold a “Clothing Exchange” for 7 days from March 19th (Wednesday) to March 25th, 2025 (Thursday) at “GOOD Choice” hosted by Kawanishi Hankyu. This is an experiential sustainable event that anyone can easily start to support moms and dads who are raising children and have to buy new clothes even though their children’s clothes are outsized quickly, even if they are in good condition, and as a step to protect the earth for the future of their children. This event aims to create a circulation cycle through the small steps of each person, and to form a new community and promote interaction through activities. ■Background of holding the “clothes exchange event” Approximately 70% of clothing, which is indispensable in daily life as food, clothing, and shelter, is thrown away as garbage when its role is finished, and 450,000 tons are incinerated or disposed of in landfills annually in Japan. The average number of clothes purchased per person per year is about 18, and about 15 are given away, and 35 are unused, and a large amount of clothes that are still in good condition and can be worn as they are are thrown away. (*Refer to the Ministry of the Environment website) We believe that it is important for sustainable initiatives to be something that each individual can easily start and continue with something that is familiar to them, and we aim to create a new option of “exchanging” by shining a spotlight on the clothes that we are giving up and those that are sleeping at home. By exchanging the clothes they are throwing away with clothes available at the venue, participants can acquire new clothes, enjoy fashion, and reduce the financial burden of replacing clothes as their children grow older. It is said that by wearing one piece of clothing for one year longer, you can reduce waste by 30,000 tons per year, and by having participants enjoy the “clothes swap” event, it will also lead to sustainability. Points for exchange Starting in February 2025, we will not only measure the number of sheets exchanged, but also their weight.We will visualize the reduction in waste and carbon dioxide emissions, and aim to increase participants’ interest in sustainability. ★Event overview★ Period: Wednesday, March 19, 2025 to Wednesday, March 25, 2025 Hours: 10:00-19:00 (until 17:00 on the last day) Venue: Aste Kawanishi Pippu Plaza (26-1 Sakaemachi, Kawanishi City, Hyogo Prefecture) *This event will be held at GOOD choice sponsored by Kawanishi Hankyu.

I also feel that the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for each event is appropriate for the modern era. Also, I have three children myself, and as my children started taking lessons and playing sports, I had to replace consumables more frequently, which put a financial burden on me, and I found myself putting off buying clothes that I was proud of. At times like these, I feel really happy when I bring out-sized children’s clothes to a clothes swap event and find clothes that my children, myself, or my wife want to wear. Having that kind of joy can sometimes give you a little peace of mind. We hope that the “Clothing Exchange” is not only a sustainable initiative, but also a source of enjoyment and support for people living in modern times.
