Circular Economy in Shopping Centers

In response to the circular economy, President Chain Store Corporation has introduced a series of circular economy measures in the shopping centers, such as recycled cups, Intelligent Automatic Recycling Machines and circular economy hand soap with wood vinegar, as well as recycling of coffee grounds to contribute to environmental sustainability

In 2023, we completed the installation of Icircle Intelligent Automatic Recycling Machines in the AUO and MediaTek shopping center in Hsinchu, recycling PET bottles and waste batteries. In order to promote sustainable ESG products made by local manufacturers, the shopping center purchased hand cleansing mousse from Dawoko that recycles local forest prunings to make hand cleanser. The cleanser is available to customers in six popular shopping centers to promote recycling.

Furbaby Welfare Enterprise

7-ELEVEN innovated “Sustainable Circular Economy in Convenience Stores” in 2023 to reduce food waste from the entire supply chain by extending the scope to animal protection. Specific salads and fruit during the iLove Food time slot from the stores are delivered fresh to the sheltered workshop. They are turned into freeze-dried food for animals to increase food use. Finally, consumers are invited to participate in pledging donations to social welfare organizations protecting stray animals. The food is consumed by pets to make environmental sustainability, employment for disadvantaged group and animal friendliness a reality.
