Reduce and Recycle Plastic Resources

In order to realize a sustainable society, the Sapporo Group will contribute to the creation of a recycling-oriented society by taking the following steps to examine and tackle the plastics used in its business activities.

1. Review the situations in which plastics are used and eliminate unnecessary use.
2. Work to reduce the volume of plastic used.
3. Convert to highly recyclable designs, recycled materials, and biomass plastics.

Adoption of lightweight PET bottles

POKKA SAPPORO Food & Beverage

In order to achieve the goal of "100% use of container and packaging that corresponds to a circular society" in line with the "Sapporo Group Container and Packaging Vision" aimed at realizing a sustainable society, we have set a target to achieve a 50% usage ratio of recycled materials in PET bottle products sold by our company by 2030, and are promoting initiatives to achieve this.

In addition, we are working to reduce plastic usage by deploying label-less products, reducing the weight of PET bottle containers, and reducing label usage. Starting in February 2023, following the sales of "Oishii Soda Water Label-less", "Kaga Bo-Hojicha Label-less" (by the case) was launched through some sales channels.

De-plasticization Initiatives

In accordance with the enforcement of the Plastic Resources Recycling Law (April 2022), we have changed the materials of plastic consumables (straws, muddlers, caps, etc.) in our directly managed facilities (cafes and restaurants). Although we use less than the standard amount (5 tons), we will continue to promote further efforts in consideration of the spirit of the law and social demands.
