BUSINESS
Three business engines
Three businesses work together and,
We are forming a textile recycling ecosystem.
We sort and process collected fiber resources and deliver them where they are needed.
Add ingenuity to collected resources and transform them into new products.
Creating the next form of reuse.
In our core textile recycling business, we collect used clothing and textile resources from within Japan,
We sort and process at our own factories in Japan and Malaysia. We regenerate fibers in a wide variety of forms.
Environmental contribution through general textile recycling and reuse. We will show the process from collection to recycling and resale.

※This is our typical fiber recycling process. Actual distribution routes vary depending on the region and project.
We export used clothing worldwide. We redistribute wearable clothing and reduce waste.
We collect unwanted clothing from government agencies, recycling companies, retail distributors, and apparel manufacturers, create new demand, and develop globally in overseas markets. We sort and pack according to the demands of each region, maximizing the value of the clothing.
Fibers that cannot be reused as clothing are processed into cleaning rags for factory use.
Recycled cotton clothing and towels are regenerated for use as industrial wipes (rags) for machine maintenance and cleaning. Their soft fibers, excellent absorbency, and comfort in hand make them ideal for maintenance.
We sort old textiles and supply raw materials such as felt and automotive soundproofing materials to shoddy manufacturers.
We sort discarded clothing and cutting scraps (mainly suits and coats) that are unsuitable for reuse or as rags for wholesale to fiber reclaimers as raw material. The fiber reclaimers turn the fibers back into a fluffy state, which is then reborn as felt or reclaimed fiber, becoming raw material for the next industry.
We collect discarded futons, sort them by intended use and type, process them, and recycle them.
First, bedding collected is sent for reuse if it's in good condition. Items unsuitable for reuse have their stuffing, such as wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers, sorted by type. Then, they are processed in a carding machine to return them to a fluffy, fibrous state. After that, they undergo sterilization and deodorization treatment with an ozone device, and this regenerated fiber is used as raw material for new products.
We upcycle regenerated cotton born from futons into new products.
We upcycle used futons into new products, such as original cushions and work gloves made from regenerated cotton spun into new yarn. We give new life and purpose to futons that have served their time, preventing them from being wasted.
We offer a wide variety of industrial wipes.
Please feel free to discuss quality, lot numbers, delivery times, and any other concerns.
In the vintage clothing retail and e-commerce business, we carefully select items of excellent quality and design from the vintage clothing sorted by our foundational business. These are then sold in stores and online under our original retail brands such as "STOMP" and "DOUBT?". We aim to deliver the enjoyment of sustainable fashion to more people.
DOUBT? / FUJIYAMA / STOMP / MF GARAGE / Birkin's / Kirakuya etc...

Future business
Until now, we have been called a textile reuse company.
Leveraging this foundation, we will go beyond current boundaries to create new businesses in the future.
Q. What is a future business?
This is our future strategy for the next decade. On the foundation of our core and value creation businesses, we will create new forms of reuse and transform our business model itself.
Q. Why is Marvelous Frontier working on future businesses?
We have changed with the times because we know that not changing and not challenging ourselves is the biggest risk in continuing our company. We have refreshed our company name and organization, and we are asking ourselves if we can create new value beyond the framework of a "reuse company." Can we leverage our long-standing on-site expertise with DX and AI to create a business model for the next era? With the resolve of this third founding period, we will take on these questions and create a new era of business. This is a challenge that only Marvelous Frontier can undertake.
A. What do you prioritize when taking on a challenge?
Future businesses are not finished endeavors, but ongoing experiments. That's why we're looking for colleagues to sow seeds with us. Marvelous Frontier is a company that turns "I want to try" into "Let's try it."
We have colleagues with diverse backgrounds. To transform differences in age, nationality, and experience into strengths, we foster a culture of on-site-led development and challenges. We are still on our journey, but we are unwavering in our conviction that as people grow, so does the business.
Based on knowledge gained in textile recycling in Japan and Malaysia, I am exploring a business that doesn't yet have a name. Possibilities with different industries, collaboration with overseas bases, and connections with local communities. Since there isn't just one answer, I'm planting multiple seeds at once.
An attempt to combine AI and digital technology with a proven, highly transparent supply chain. Improving selection accuracy, building traceability, and developing new materials. We will use technology not as an end in itself, but as a means to expand wisdom and possibilities.
These are some of the things we are currently doing.
Possibilities not written here may also arise in the future.
Foundation Business → Value Creation → Future Business. With the three businesses circulating,
This results in the evolution of the entire company, which cannot be achieved by individual businesses alone.
The interaction of the three businesses
We will evolve the reuse business model itself.
Partnership & Collaboration
New material development, upcycling planning, brand collaboration, OEM partnerships, etc.
We welcome inquiries about expanding the possibilities of resource circulation and applications for employment.
Please feel free to contact us first.
