BRING™, which is operated by JEPLAN, INC. (Representative Director, President, and Chief Executive Officer: Masaki Takao; hereinafter “JEPLAN”), has produced official T-shirts featuring the “BRING Bee” logo in collaboration with HY SKY Fes 2025 & Pre-Festival (hereinafter “the event”) (March 14 (Fri) to 16 (Sun), 2025 at the Okinawa Comprehensive Athletic Park Multipurpose Ground). We would also like to announce that we will be collecting unwanted clothing from visitors to the festival.

This event aims to be the cleanest festival in the world and is implementing various initiatives involving art and clean-up activities. As part of these efforts, the "BRING Bee Mark" will be used to promote the recycling of clothing resources. Specifically, the "BRING Bee Mark" is based on three elements: "COLLECTABLE" to collect used clothing from visitors, "RECYCLABLE" to indicate that the product is recyclable, and "RECYCLED MATERIAL" to indicate that recycled raw materials are used. We are committed to resource recycling based on these three elements.

In addition, the official T-shirts use the BLANK APPAREL™ T-shirt body, which is made partly from 100% fiber-derived, recycled polyester resin. Visitors are encouraged to participate in resource recycling efforts by collecting clothing and wearing official T-shirts with the "BRING Bee" mark. Clothing collected at the event will be reused and recycled appropriately in cooperation with partner companies, thereby helping to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable resource recycling.

The JEPLAN Group will continue to work together with domestic and overseas partners to realize its mission of "We circulate our world," and the entire group will work together to drive the circular economy.

■ About the BRING Bee Mark

COLLECTABLE," "RECYCLABLE," and "RECYCLED MATERIAL" have three meanings, and the presence or absence of an arc around the bee indicates the conditions that the product meets. Just as bees fly between flowers to collect nectar to make new honey, this mark expresses our desire to build a society in which consumers can collect products they no longer need and recycle them into new products and resources. The "BRING Bee Mark" is attached to the collection points, and the bees are attached to both the collection points and the products to remind people that the collection points are the gateway to the recycling process.

• COLLECTABLE
  The user of the BRING Bee mark means that the user has a system in place (take-back system, processing capacity, processing details, etc.) to take back products that are no longer in use and reuse/recycle them after use. the above can be satisfied by entering into a BRING agreement with JEPLAN.
• RECYCLABLE
  This means that the product can be recycled by material recycling and chemical recycling methods.
• RECYCLED MATERIAL
  It means that the product applied for is made from raw materials recycled from pre-consumer and post-consumer materials.
