    The Global Environment Centre Foundation (GEC) is an entity that supports the UNEP’s International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC), based in Japan.

  • ECOPET(TM)

    Technology
    Plastics

    ECOPET(TM) is a recycled polyester fiber made from used plastic bottles by material recycling. We recommend this for environmentally-friendly products requiring green procurement. ECOPET(TM) gets the Oeko-Tex(R) Standard 100 ceritification as staple fibers.

  • ECO CIRCLE(TM) FIBERS

    Technology
    Plastics

    ECO CIRCLE(TM) FIBERS is a recycled polyester fiber made of used polyester products by chemical recycling. We recommend this for environmentally-friendly products such as ones requiring green procurement. These are polyester fibers recycled from other used polyester products using the innovative recycling technology.

  • ECO CIRCLE(TM) Plantfiber

    Technology
    Plastics

    Since ECO CIRCLE(TM) Plantfiber is created from a bio-based material that has replaced some of the structural components of PET resin it contributes to curbing fossil fuel use and CO2 emissions. What is ECO CIRCLE(TM) Plantfiber is 1. ECO CIRCLE(TM) Plantfiber is a material created from bio-based (sugarcane) which has replaced some structural components of PET resin. 2. Since the materials are partly plant-derived they can help curb consumption of fossil fuel resources. 3. It helps reduce greenhouse gases.

  • ECO CIRCLE(TM)

    ECO CIRCLE(TM) is a circulating type recycling system for polyester products. ECO CIRCLE(TM) recreates new fiber from used fiber and other products without degrading the quality. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of garbage oil consumption and greatly reduces CO2 emission and energy consumption. The Meaning of 'Recycling' Is Changing. Imagine if all of the PET bottles were melted down and recycled into new ones. We will realize that they were once thrown away. Expecting a recycled product to be different in quality and have variations has become second nature to us.

  • ECO STORM(TM)

    Objective
    Mitigation

    ECO STORM(TM) is a moisture permeable and water proof material that achieves both environmental performance and comfort. Its base fabric uses recycled polyester fiber and thin polyester film is laminated onto it. We recommend this for outerwear for outdoor use and it can be used to make many kinds of environmentally friendly products. Main features. The highly functional material ECO STORM(TM) is a recyclable waterproof/breathable material made from recycled fibers.
