(5) From “Disposable” to “Recyclable”<br />

KINSEI SEISHI is promoting the recycling of PET bottles. Our aim is to<br />

recycle 1,200 tons per year (20 million PET bottles) by making products from<br />

them.<br />

Eco Bonn Rick is a porous kitchen bag made from recycled PET bottles. It is a<br />

non-woven material which consists of fine intertwined fibers. It filters fine<br />

impurities thereby helping us to return environmentally friendly water back to<br />

rivers and oceans.<br />
