EFFECT, INC.
Used Clothes From Japan To World
We effect, inc. cooperate with a recycling factory located in Hiroshima City to select second-hand apparel by our employees, collecting used second-hand high quality garments and exporting them mainly to Southeast Asian countries. We also purchase used clothing from partner companies throughout all over Japan and sell them to overseas affiliated companies.
The overseas affiliated company divides the second-hand apparel into hundreds of categories and is distributed in the market to the local or other countries. In Japan, the concept of reuse (re-use) has taken root in recent years, but it is currently the case that many used clothing items are still incinerated. The purpose of this reuse project, which we are dealing with, is to bring this originally burned clothing to overseas and deliver it to those who need it. We believe that we have an obligation to make the earth gentler with respect to environmental problems by suppressing incineration. We feel that this reusing/recycling business, which is environmentally friendly and for the people who can not purchase new clothes, will give a cheap, yet high quality second-hand apparel and it will make everyone smile.
It is a very useful business for many people. Also, the second-hand garments in Japan are of high quality, size and design are also popular because they meet the needs of Asian nations, and the demand for people in Asian countries where the population will increase further in the future is expected to further increase . There is still a future in the reuse/recyling business of used clothing in Japan, and we hope that more smiles will be born by continuing the products that we engaged in hand to those people.
