Nitori to open Japan's largest furniture recycling facility

The new facility will involve an investment of approximately 2.5 billion yen and will cover a land area of 15,000 square meters. It will comprise two processing buildings and one building for offices and research. Nitori expects the facility to handle over 10,000 tons of furniture annually, processing discarded items like sofas and tables into raw materials.

This move is projected to cut Nitori's annual disposal and processing costs by more than 100 million yen. The company has also been recognized for its recycling and reuse initiatives, including collecting curtains, down comforters, and towels across all its stores, regardless of the original seller, to promote resource circulation and reduce waste.
