To promote a circular society, a joint demonstration experiment aimed at promoting the use of personal bottles was conducted for about one month from April 18, 2022, in collaboration with five companies (roles and resources provided shown in parentheses): Thermos (personal bottles), Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd. (demonstration experiment field, about 300 participants), Panasonic Corporation (automatic personal bottle washers), Apex Co., Ltd. (personal bottle-compatible coffee machines), and Ajinomoto AGF, Inc. (coffee beans). During the implementation period, paper cup disposal was nearly zero, and participants’ environmental awareness improved. The functionality and convenience of personal bottles received high marks, and many participants said that they would like to continue using it.
