Recycling and Service Life Extension of Vending Machines Contribute to a decarbonized,
recycling-oriented society

The service life of vending machines has extended by 16% over the last seven years; the average age of service of vending machines* increased from 9.4 years in FY 2014 to 10.9 years in FY 2020.
* Calculated based on the average age of service of all vending machines (including those that are not Frontier Vendors)

Reducing Power Consumption Contribute to a decarbonized,
recycling-oriented society

DyDo DRINCO’s constant efforts to improve energy efficiency has led to a 79.5% reduction in the annual power consumption of the major type of its vending machines from FY 2000.
In particular, in 2007, we started the full-scale introduction of vending machines with a heat pump function, which reuses the heat generated when cold beverages are cooled as a source of energy to heat hot beverages. Later, we have employed LED lighting, high-performance vacuum insulators, and other energy-saving components, significantly reducing power consumption.

Enhancing Efforts to Collect More Used Containers Contribute to a decarbonized,
recycling-oriented society

As part of our efforts to work on the issue of marine plastic waste and the effective use of natural resources, we have been establishing a system for route drivers to quickly collect used containers from recycle bins, which are installed next to beverage vending machines, when filling the machines with beverages.
We keep the areas around our vending machines clean and tidy so that consumers can comfortably use the machines. We also strive to prevent scattering of PET bottles, which may end up getting into the ocean, and to increase the recycling rate of PET bottles.

Efforts to Use Lighter and Thinner Cans Contribute to a decarbonized,
recycling-oriented society

For canned coffee—one of DyDo DRINCO’s major products, the company uses new model TULC cans, which are the lightest steel cans of the same size in Japan. The steel cans for 185-gram coffee weigh 50% less than 33 years ago.
Furthermore, use of the new model TULC cans has contributed to less environmental load. Developed with the most advanced technologies, these lightest steel cans in Japan cause less carbon dioxide emissions when manufactured and do not require water when processed, which almost eliminates the solid waste generated during rinsing water treatment.

DyDo DRINCO's mainstay product is canned coffee, and steel cans are used to reduce environmental impact in manufacturing.
The recycle rate for steel cans in FY2019 was 93.3%.
