“Myaku City!”: A Groundbreaking Initiative for Resource Circulation at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai
Osaka, Japan – August 15, 2025 – The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) has announced an innovative initiative poised to champion resource circulation at the upcoming Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai. The program, aptly named “Myaku City!”, will provide a dedicated marketplace where visitors can purchase items that have been reused from the Expo itself. This forward-thinking approach aims to minimize waste and foster a more sustainable approach to large-scale international events.
“Myaku City!” signifies a significant commitment to the principles of a circular economy, moving beyond traditional waste management practices. By creating a tangible avenue for the reuse of materials and products utilized during the Expo, the initiative seeks to demonstrate the practical application of resource circulation to a global audience.
The concept is designed to be both environmentally responsible and economically viable. As the Expo progresses, items that are no longer needed but are still in good condition, such as furniture, decorative elements, and event materials, will be collected and offered for sale within “Myaku City!”. This not only diverts waste from landfills but also provides attendees with unique souvenirs and mementos from the event, imbued with a story of sustainability.
JETRO’s announcement highlights the potential of “Myaku City!” to not only reduce the environmental footprint of Expo 2025 but also to serve as a powerful educational tool. Visitors will have the opportunity to witness firsthand how resources can be given a new life, encouraging them to adopt similar practices in their own lives and communities. The name “Myaku,” referencing the Expo’s theme of “Designing Future Society,infty,” underscores the project’s ambition to set a new standard for event sustainability.
Further details regarding the specific types of items available for purchase, the operational hours of “Myaku City!”, and the purchasing procedures are expected to be released by JETRO in the coming months. This initiative promises to be a cornerstone of Expo 2025’s commitment to a sustainable future, offering a compelling glimpse into a more resource-conscious world.
