Social Background

In many cases, college students dispose of their furniture and appliances when they move out of college. On the other hand, newly enrolled college students have to spend a lot of money to furnish and equip their homes when they start living on their own.
 

Purpose of Activity

Reduce waste by reusing items that can still be used.
At the same time, it provides a place for new students to acquire items at a discount.
 

Overview of Activity

We will call out to alumni via SNS, etc., and take furniture and appliances they no longer need free of charge. After cleaning them, they will be displayed at Okayama University's Budokan and student halls and sold to new students at low prices.
 

Expected Effects

・Reduction of waste
・Reduction of energy consumption
