Green EXPOReuse Matching Project

The Reuse Matching Project is an initiative to realize the sustainable operation of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan by effectively utilizing resources such as buildings, art, building materials, equipment, furniture and fixtures that remain after the Expo closes.
The web system “EXPO CIRCULAR MARKET MYAKU-ICHI!” is a service that matches supply and demand with the aim of encouraging people to reuse previously used items. We aim to reduce waste generation and contribute to creating an eco-friendly society.
