☆ Yonex debuts partly recycled sneakers at badminton World Championships
  + stars: | 2023-08-29 | by ( Richa Naidu | Thomson Reuters | London-Based Reporter Covering Retail | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
LONDON, Aug 29 (Reuters) - As the world's best badminton players travel home after the World Championships in Denmark, the sport's leading manufacturer Yonex (7906.T) told Reuters some of them were fighting it out for the first time in sneakers made partly from recycled materials. In addition to appeasing environmentally conscious shoppers, the companies argue that switching to recycled materials helps reduce waste and their reliance on finite resources. While developing the products, Yonex thought about how to blend materials in order to overcome the challenge of the physical properties of sustainable materials generally being different to traditional materials. He added that sustainable materials currently cost more to use because suppliers mass-produce traditional materials. Yonex said it uses sustainable materials in 83% of its apparel products, such as organic cotton or recycled fibers.

☆ Bet365 must pay compensation to Danish soccer star Eriksen and others, court finds
  + stars: | 2023-05-08 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
The owner of Bet365, Malta-based Hillside Plc, was ordered to pay 4.7 million Danish crowns ($697,000) to the athletes, including badminton player and Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen, football player Simon Kjaer and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. Manchester United midfielder Eriksen, whose image was used the most frequently according to the plaintiffs, was awarded the largest sum amounting to 1.45 million crowns, the verdict showed. While Bet365 had argued that its use of names and images should be regarded as editorial content, and was therefore not subject to payments, the court found instead that it amounted to marketing that required consent. Reuters was not immediately able to reach the company or its lawyers for comment.
