Pass the Baton is the name of a consignment shop which is in Aoyama. Basic idea of this shop is to sell the products which are brought by the customers. Some of the products are upcycled products which means that useless products are renewed into better quality or into better environmental value products. The interesting part of this shop is that the products are tagged with the profile which is written by the person who brought the products. They also write the story of the products such as why they brought the products to Pass the Baton. The owner of this shop thinks that exchanging people's history, culture and story through the products are the main point of recycling or upcycling the products.
By watching this video, I thought that recycling is just not about renewing the products. Pass the Baton showed us that recycling can connect and relate the people through the products. After knowing the story of its products, I think we feel more precious about the products and this might reduce the number of products that are thrown away. If I have a chance, I want to visit this shop.
