AEON Plastics Usage Policy

AEON is working toward the goal of halving its use of disposable plastics by 2030 in order to realize a carbon-free, resource-circulating society.

AEON Plastics Usage Policy

AEON is committed to using plastics sustainably to help realize a carbon-free society. Through our stores, products and services, we will work with all of our stakeholders to help establish a new carbon-free, resource-recycling lifestyle.

  1. We will review the waste of resources and the use of disposable types in our business activities and aim for zero disposable plastics.
  2. The necessary plastics will be converted from fossil-derived materials to environmentally and socially friendly materials.
  3. We will build a resource recycling model that collects, reuses, and recycles used plastics from our stores, and work with our customers on sustainable resource use.

<Goal> Aiming for sustainable use of plastics with zero CO2 emissions

  • By 2030, we will halve the amount of disposable plastic used compared to 2018.
  • By 2030, all PB products will use environmentally and socially friendly materials.
  • By 2030, we will convert PET bottles of PB products to 100% recycled or plant-derived materials.
