In celebration of Earth Day (April 22), I’m pleased to announce all Fair Trade Sports balls are now being equipped with eco-certified latex.
Our eco-certification is the same eco-label you see on other forest products at Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Kinko’s. Products bearing the logo guarantee that the product (in our case, latex) came from a certified well-managed forest.
As we discussed earlier, the air bladders inside each of our sports balls – such as our fairly traded rugby ball – are made of latex. This latex now comes from our rubber tree forest in India which has been certified both Eco and Fair Trade.
I hope you are able to enjoy Earth Day outside with family and friends!
