Harmony with the Environment
An introduction to the BOOKOFF Group’s environmental initiatives
Initiatives to recycle as a member of society
Books, software, clothing, and mobile phones that can no longer be used are given to an outside company with which we cooperate to have the items reused or recycled as resources.
Reduction of plastic shopping bags
To reduce the use of plastic shopping bags, BOOKOFF stores ask customers if they require a bag when they make a purchase.
BOOKOFF’s plastic shopping bags are harmless.

These shopping bags are made of harmless polyethylene. They do not emit hydrogen chloride or other harmful substances when incinerated.
Initiatives to reduce use of electricity and paper
Stores and offices are implementing joint initiatives to reduce energy consumption by regularly cleaning air conditioning filters, and to introduce paperless operations by shifting to electronic internal reports.
