The collaborating parties, which include Aeon Kyushu, Hello Day, and Tokiwa, announced the establishment of a new council on the 29th at the Fukuoka Financial Group&#8217;s headquarters in Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These eleven companies have committed to jointly carrying out environmentally conscious initiatives, starting with individual store-level efforts. This includes setting up sections in their stores that display products such as beverages with the middle part of their PET bottle packaging removed, and snacks in packaging made from plant-derived materials. A common logo representing &#8216;sustainability&#8217; has also been designed and will be used to identify these efforts. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aeon-kyushu.info\/files\/management_news\/2578\/pdf.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aeon Kyushu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20230529\/5010020412.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-153872\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fnn_package-reduction_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1394%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"11 Kyushu Companies Team Up for Packaging Reduction\" width=\"1394\" height=\"773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fnn_package-reduction_2023_cl.jpg?w=1394&amp;ssl=1 1394w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fnn_package-reduction_2023_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C166&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fnn_package-reduction_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C568&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fnn_package-reduction_2023_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C426&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
