Muji announces switch from PET bottles to aluminum cans

Japanese retailer Mujirushi Ryouhin, often shortened to Muji, sells a variety of items that include stationery, furniture, and even food, with a style of no-frill minimalism (their name translates to "no logo goods"). Recently, Ryohin Keikaku, the business that operates Muji, seems to be showing an initiative to become more environmentally conscious (and accommodating of diets) by offering alternative protein sources for instance a plant-based meat lineup that requires no refrigeration.

That initiative appears to be continuing as Ryohin Keikaku has announced that as of April 23, Muji stores started eliminating PET bottles and switching to aluminum cans for several their beverages in an order accommodate sustainable development goals and address plastic waste.

The next beverages will now be accessible exclusively in aluminum cans from Muji stores.
