BRING™, operated by JEPLAN, INC. (Representative Director, President and Chief Executive Officer: Masaki Takao; hereinafter “JEPLAN”), will collaborate with the event organizer to collect used clothing at MASHUP FESTIVAL kobe'26 (hereinafter “the Event”), to be held on Saturday, October 24, 2026. The Event has adopted BRING's clothing collection initiative.
 |
Set in the Kobe Bay Area, where the city meets the sea, the Event is a multi-venue festival that brings together seven leading festivals from Hyogo Prefecture. It is held as a place where music, art, local communities, and diverse cultures intersect and “mash up” to create new value.
The Event aims to offer more than extraordinary entertainment by inspiring positive action toward everyday life and the future social environment.
In line with this vision, the Event organizer supports the circular economy initiatives promoted by BRING and has decided to introduce clothing collection at the Event. BRING enables anyone to participate in resource circularity through the familiar medium of clothing. By creating opportunities for visitors to think about the future and take action while enjoying the festival, the initiative closely aligns with the Event’s philosophy.
As part of its environmental initiatives, the Event will install a clothing collection box in the TOTTEI PARK area, the main venue, to collect unwanted clothing from visitors.
The collected clothing will be reused or recycled through the BRING platform and utilized as new resources. Through this initiative, BRING aims to create an accessible opportunity for visitors to participate in resource circularity and to expand clothing collection initiatives at events and festivals.
Going forward, the JEPLAN Group will continue to collaborate with partners in Japan and overseas and work together as one group to advance the circular economy in pursuit of its mission to “Circulate Everything.”
