Jimoty Co., Ltd., which operates the local information site "Jimoty" with Kitami Institute of Technology, has signed an agreement on reuse for the first time in Japan and announced that it will carry out reuse activities.
Kitami Institute of Technology is the northernmost national university in Japan located in Kitami City, Hokkaido.Many students from all over the country live alone or in dormitories.During the graduation season, while many people moved out of Kitami City, many unnecessary items were discharged as oversized garbage from the graduates, and the problem was that many of them could still be used. ..
Jimoty Co., Ltd. operates the local information site "Jimoty" with the management philosophy of "visualizing the present of the region and connecting people to the future".Currently, it is used by more than 1,000 million people a month, and even in the reuse field, which has been attracting attention in the last few years, we provide a place to deliver necessary items to those who need them, mainly large furniture and home appliances.Reuse projects in collaboration with local governments are also attracting attention.
The conclusion of this agreement is realized by matching the needs of Kitami Institute of Technology, which wants to reduce oversized garbage of graduates and enrich the student life of current students, and Jimoty's philosophy.By transferring unnecessary items created when graduates move out of Kitami City to current students, we aim to enable current students to purchase daily necessities at a lower cost.
In the future, in collaboration with student groups, we plan to plan reuse demonstration experiments to reduce waste by collecting items that can still be used and selling them at Jimoty, and promote reuse activities within the university.
