[eco-shoot (R)]

There are no borders in sports. The "Ecoshoot", a soccer ball decorated like a globe, stands as a symbol of this and we hope that it will encourage people to think about protecting the environment. The rubber inner tube of the ball is made from recycled tires.

[PET BOTTLES RECYCL]
	Toyobo evaluates the lifecycle of all raw materials and promotes the use of materials that have as little impact on the environment as possible. One such process is the recycling of PET bottles.Used PET bottles are collected and processed into flakes.

[PET Flakes]
	***ECHORCLUB(R) PET flakes are processed into fibers that are used to make t-shirts and polo shirts. It takes about three 500ml PET bottles to make one t-shirt.
	These flakes are also used to make soccer and volleyball nets. ***PETar-R Multi by Morishita.inc.
