      FREE WATER available at some stores

      FREE WATER available at some stores

      Index

      In Japan, around 44% of plastic waste is containers such as plastic bottles and food trays.

      To reduce the amount of plastic waste, it is also necessary to reduce the number of plastic bottles.

      For this reason, the number of stores where you can get free water if you bring your own water bottle is increasing little by little.

      For instance, “Muji”, a Japanese retailer launched an initiative in July aimed at reducing plastic waste.

      It installed water refill stations at over one hundred outlets across the country.

      These will be available for use by anyone who brings their own water bottles, not just customers.

      Moreover, “IKEA Japan”, a store that sells furniture, also has water machines in all 11 stores in Japan.

      プラスチックのゴミの44%は、ペットボトルや食べ物のトレーなどの入れ物(入れもの)です。

      プラスッチクのゴミを少なくするためには、ペットボトルなどを減(へ)らす必要(ひつよう)があります。

      このため、自分の水筒(すいとう)などを持っていくと、無料で水をもらえることができる店が少しずつ増(ふ)えています。

      たとえば、日本の小売業者(こうりぎょうしゃ)である「無印良品(むじるしりょうひん)」は、プラスチック廃棄物(はいきぶつ)の削減(さくげん)に向(む)けた取(と)り組(く)みを7月に開始(かいし)しました。これにより、全国100か所以上の店に誰でも無料で水をもらうことができる給水機(きゅうすいき)を置(お)きました。

      家具(かぐ)などの店の「イケア・ジャパン」も日本にある11の店舗に給水機を置きました。
