Evaluation

Rather than recycling based on disposing of used packages as waste, this service employs reusable packages to offer circular consumption that encompasses multiple brands. We wish to express our respect for the fact that the creator not only came up with the idea, but also succeeded in getting several companies involved. Retaining the joy of buying new things, while ensuring that packaging is reused without increasing the burden on the service user, this system is well designed.
