GUIDE TO A BETTER LIFE
FIND ANSWERS
FROM WASTE

In 2003, Kamikatsu became the first town in Japan to declare a Zero Waste goal.
At the heart of this effort stands the Kamikatsu Zero Waste Center – WHY.
It is a place where residents and visitors from all backgrounds can gather, connect, and learn from one another.
We believe that by reducing waste, life itself becomes richer and more meaningful.
Our challenge continues: to keep searching for better answers for the future.

STAYWhy next to a garbage station?
Because here, waste is where change begins.
