Tiger Corporation and Hokkaido Nipponham Fighters collaborate to solve problems in watching sports at a stadium! The “Days Watching Baseball with Tiger Bottles”

Tiger Corporation (President: Yoshisato Kikuchi, Headquarters: Kadoma City, Osaka) (“Tiger” or “we”), a world leader in thermal control technology, will conduct the “Days Watching Baseball with Tiger Bottles – Bring your own drinks bottles to be good for the environment” campaign in collaboration with Hokkaido Nipponham Fighters (“Fighters”). The aim is to encourage the audience members to bring their own drinks bottles to the stadium and enjoy watching a baseball game while drinking drinks from the bottles for the series of three games to be held in the Es Con Field Hokkaido stadium from August 4 to 6.

The problems arising at a venue where people watch sports include the drinks getting lukewarm while watching a game, which is an issue for members of the audience, and a lot of waste being left at the venue after the game, which is trouble for the organizer/operator.　

After releasing vacuum-insulated bottles that can hold carbonated drinks such as beer* in January 2022, we received requests from many people, such as “I want to carry the bottle with me when I go to watch sports as I can put any drinks I like in the bottle” and “The bottle is perfect to carry with me when I go to watch sports because I can enjoy cold carbonated drinks from it anytime.“

Focusing on these customers’ requests, we believe that we can solve problems with watching sports at a stadium with Tiger bottles. Based on this belief, we have been making efforts to encourage the audience members to bring their own drinks bottles to a stadium when they go to watch sports since 2022.

Gaining support for our efforts for sustainable actions from Hokkaido Nipponham Fighters, which attracted much attention after opening the new Es Con Field Hokkaido stadium in March 2023, we decided to team up with Hokkaido Nipponham Fighters to conduct the “Days Watching Baseball with Tiger Bottles – Bring your own drinks bottles to be good for the environment” campaign. The Hokkaido Ballpark F Village including the Es Con Field Hokkaido stadium aims to create a sustainable community through various industry-government-academia partnerships and declares it will make organization-wide efforts for the SDGs.

Hokkaido Nipponham Fighters is the second professional baseball team following Fukuoka SoftBank HAWKS with which Tiger Corporation collaborated to encourage people to bring their own drinks bottles to the stadiums to watch baseball games. We will continue to work with both teams to make watching baseball games at the stadiums with your own drinks bottles a more comfortable experience.

Considering Tiger bottles as a tool for not only rehydration but also for enriching the time when enjoying sports, we aim to provide new value to society by focusing on solving problems in watching sports at stadiums with Tiger bottles.

*When using this product as a container for alcoholic beverages, please comply with the laws and regulations of your country or region.

Used stainless-steel bottles will be collected at the stadium!

Believing that carrying out recycling-oriented manufacturing is our duty as a manufacturer of stainless-steel bottles, we have been striving to have more collection boxes in place for used stainless-steel bottles as an action for a circular economy of stainless-steel bottles. The collection boxes will also be placed at the Es Con Field Hokkaido stadium from August 4 to 6 when the series of three games will be held.

Bring used stainless-steel bottles that you no longer need at home (even those made by companies other than Tiger Corporation are acceptable) and put them in the collection box. The collected stainless-steel bottles will be taken to a professional recycler.
Then, from the gathered raw materials to be recycled, recycled stainless-steel materials and resin products will be produced. This creates a recycling system where the recycled stainless-steel materials are used to manufacture new products and delivered to customers again and the recycled resins are used in our production factories.
