RIN ~ Recycle Innovation in the New Normal ~

RIN is a plastic recycling project originating from the 'bottle-to-bottle' concept, centered on transforming used plastic bottle caps into new caps or new value. Going beyond mere recycling, it designs the entire flow from product design to collection, regeneration, and reuse as a continuous process, creating new value for society. RIN is seeking new partners who agree with this initiative and wish to create value together. RIN HP: https://rindesign.org/
