BRING CIRCULAR TAKAO (Hachioji City, Tokyo, hereafter "BCT"), the directly-operated shop of BRING™ operated by JEPLAN, INC.（ Representative Director, President, and Chief Executive Officer: Masaki Takao; hereinafter “JEPLAN”) at the entrance of Mt. Takao and mountain climbing, has invited outdoor retail shops Mountain JAM (Omura City, Nagasaki Prefecture), SANKAKU STAND (Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture ) and 'Nruc' (Moka City, Tochigi Prefecture) will be invited to the pop-up event 'Nurutto Sankaku JAM - nice to meet TAKAO' (Dates: 13 (Sat) - 14 (Sun) July 2024). At the event, original items from each shop and T-shirts in collaboration with BRING will be on sale.
BRING, a brand that implements the Circular Economy, collects unwanted clothes and converts them into recycled materials at its own factories using proprietary technology in order to recycle large quantities of discarded clothes. The company also manufactures and sells apparel products made from the recycled materials. Through these resource recycling efforts, we are contributing to the reduction of environmental burdens.
The three outdoor retailers invited to the event have endorsed BRING's efforts, collecting clothing at their stores and carrying BRING apparel products. Through this event, we wanted to convey to visitors to Mt. Takao our desire to contribute to the preservation of the natural environment. At the event, we plan to sell original items from each store that go well with mountaineering and outdoor activities, such as backpacks and hand towels.
The JEPLAN Group will continue to work together with domestic and overseas partners to realize its mission of "bringing everything into circulation," and the entire group will strive to drive the circular economy forward.
