A lifestyle store based on the theme of "circulation".

The concept of the shop is "to join, to connect, and to go around”.

It is a place where people with a variety of purposes can easily gather, much like a park, and where workshops and a market are held on weekends.

Problem

In Kagawa Prefecture, where AJI CIRCULAR PARK is located, there was an illegal dumping of industrial waste. It is said to be the worst ever in Japan, and the islanders suffered for a long time from a lot of garbage brought in from outside the island.

Solution

AJI CIRCULAR PARK, a place to buy sustainable products, books, vintage clothing and sustainable apparel brands.


Based on circular economy principles, the park prioritizes local and inner loop such as collect & recycle goods, sell secondhand or scraps and hold circular & upcycling art workshops.

Outcome

Reduce waste, reduce CO2 emissions and revitalize the local community.

Additional information

Bringing together people from all walks of life and creating new connections through the facility, this project aims to promote the recycling of the region's diverse resources within the community and to achieve sustainable community development.
