KINSEI SEISHI is promoting the recycling of PET
bottles. Our aim is to recycle 1,200 tons per
year (20 million PET bottles) by making products
from them. |

Eco Bonn Rick is a porous kitchen bag made from
recycled PET bottles. It is a non-woven material
which consists of fine intertwined fibers. It
filters fine impurities thereby helping us to
return environmentally friendly water back to
rivers and oceans. |

KINSEI
recycle mascot
Our mascot appearing on our non-woven products made from recycled PET bottles is called the "KINSEI recycle mascot". This emblem is the symbol that emphasizes our caring for the environment and our promotion of the recycling of PET bottles. These products do not emit carbon dioxide when burned and hence the Kinsei recycle mascot is smiling about our environmentally-safe products. |
