Social Issues and The Theme of My Business

Social issues to be solved:
I would like to solve the problem of plastic waste in order to contribute to marine resources and land resources protection that SDGs have.
Business theme:
Create a new 3R system which enables the visualization of the usage and deposit of plastic products.
*3R: Reduce , Reuse , Recycle

Motivation

By carrying out this project, I believe it is possible to make global problems such as plastic waste a familiar problem at the individual level. Through this system, I would like to work on ameliorating the “single-use plastics habit” that has been accepted as a social norm.
