Eco Section Background
100% Recycled
Carbon Fiber

Model C Lite uses carbon resin made from recycled materials, making it highly environmentally friendly. This approach significantly reduces CO2 emissions compared to conventional manufacturing methods. In addition, the carbon resin itself can potentially be recycled again at the end of the product’s life, contributing to a circular resource cycle.
