Marche where you can experience circulation
We sell food and drinks that are conscious of resource circulation, as well as wooden miscellaneous goods and manufacturing kits made from upcycled materials. In addition to exhibits thinking about reducing food waste, we will also collect compost, clothes, toothbrushes, used household cooking oil (*), etc. At the same time, we will be holding sales and instruction on how to use LFC compost, which was developed to be fun and comfortable to use even on urban balconies.
