The sports ball product line for North America from Fair Trade Sports, Inc. has several certifications attached to them, including the first-ever “green” certification for soccer balls. Fair Trade Sports' eco-certification refers to the rubber that makes up 70% of their sports balls. The utilized rubber tree forests in India and Sri Lanka have been third-party certified as sustainably managed.

The Fair Trade certification refers to a third-party certification that adult workers are paid a Fair Trade Certified wage and ensured healthy working conditions. By marrying the Fair Trade certification system to the existing “no child labor” movement, Fair Trade Sports has created a lasting, positive solution to the root problem behind child labor, which is extreme poverty. By paying parents a certified Fair Trade wage, those parents are not forced to put their children to work just so the family can survive.

All Fair Trade Sports environmental and Fair Trade certifications can be viewed on the Fair Trade Sports website.
