SCRAPTURE | NOMURA Co.,Ltd. 's social good activities

Upcycling scraps from building and interiors materials

NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Co., Ltd. has been engaged in "social good activities" since 2021 to create lasting happiness in people's spaces. We aim to solve social issues in four areas: environment, community, culture, and people.
On March 15, 2023, our 131st anniversary, we will be installing furniture at the first floor entrance of our headquarters in Daiba, Minato-ku, Tokyo, that will act as a mechanism to "connect" people, events, and things, based on Head Office of "opening to the community."

"SCRAPTURE" = SCRAP x FURNITURE
SCRAPTURE, the prototype of which was unveiled at Social Good Week in November 2022, was created with a focus on industrial waste, which amounts to 412 million tons of waste generated annually.
This project, which has a deep connection with NOMURA Co.,Ltd., involves upcycling scraps discarded from building and interiors materials and reusing them as furniture. After repeated consideration of functionality and concept design from the prototype, the project has evolved into a conceptual piece of furniture incorporating waste materials, and is now being installed.

By having visitors use these products, we hope to convey a message from NOMURA Co.,Ltd. that we are committed to being environmentally friendly and continuing to contribute to society and the local community, and also to providing an opportunity for everyone to think together about a better future and a sustainable society.
