Following on from last year, volunteers from the Matsuura Factory will be participating in the "Zero Marine Litter Week 2022" organized by the Ministry of the Environment.
We cleaned up the coastlines of Chokawacho and Imafukucho in Matsuura City, Nagasaki Prefecture, where our factory is located.
"Zero Marine Garbage Week" is a nationwide clean-up campaign organized by the Ministry of the Environment and the Nippon Foundation.
Our company focused on beach cleanups and cleaned up Maehama Beach and Imabuku Beach near the factory.
Comments from employees who participated in Zero Marine Garbage Week
"Despite the high temperatures and the fact that we had to wear masks to protect against COVID-19, we all worked together to collect a large amount of driftwood. I believe that this cleanup activity has made a small contribution to beautifying the coast and reducing marine plastic.
We would like to continue participating in this activity next year and beyond, and work to make it a permanent fixture in our lives."
