Strengthen waste reduction​

The PPIH Group strives to reduce waste and promote recycling in order to establish a recycling-oriented society.

MEGA Don Quijote and some Don Quijote stores have set up recycling stations in their stores to collect used paper such as cardboard boxes and magazines for use by local customers. The recovered paper brought in is returned to users in majica* points at the rate of 1kg = 1 majica point, which can be used for purchases at our group stores. In addition, the collected used paper is recycled through local recycling companies.
The service has been well received by customers and has led them to return to our stores, as it reduces household waste, makes effective use of resources, and is a great way to earn points.
Through these services, the Group is working together with its customers to establish a recycling-oriented society.
*majica: Electronic money that can be used at PPIH Group stores

It is customary for manufacturers to send promotional materials to retail stores by courier service, and cardboard boxes for individual packaging are consumed and disposed of, resulting in waste that is not utilized by stores and ends up in disposal.
In order to reduce waste and improve operational efficiency, manufacturer (ROHTO Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), wholesaler (PALTAC CORPORATION), and our Group's Don Quijote stores are working together to carefully select the necessary quantity of promotional materials and the stores where they will be installed, as well as to use paper materials with low environmental impact and to establish a system for batch delivery to the bases. We have also established a system for the use of paper materials with low environmental impact and batch delivery of materials to bases.
We will continue to work with our partners to optimize and streamline the entire supply chain and reduce waste.
