A must-see for those troubled by unnecessary acrylic panels! Upcycle project.

After Corona, we move from "blocking" to "connecting." Reusing unnecessary acrylic partitions as promotional materials.

Our company, as part of an upcycling project that attempts to develop new products using materials from Aomori Prefecture and materials that would otherwise be discarded, collaborated with Yamazaki Shokudo to upcycle acrylic partitions that became unnecessary in stores due to the post-COVID era into information panels for customers. Instead of recycling the unnecessary acrylic partitions by mixing them with other materials, we considered whether they could be reused within the store by changing their role, and decided to transform the "boards that had been blocking" into "information boards for customers." By changing the information board from paper to a panel, we were able to reduce the use of paper along with the reuse of acrylic panels. Additionally, there is a case where acrylic partitions were reused as keychains in Minamimachi, Aomori Prefecture. [Collaboration Overview] ■ Acrylic panels that were used as partitions for infection control have become unnecessary items. ■ Born from the idea of reusing them within the store without a large-scale effort. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
