Etiko
Etiko is a values based brand, a brand that stands not just for great products at great prices but stands for an ethical position from child labour to the environment, from fairtrade to workers rights.

What is the difference between footballs offered by Etiko and cheap discounted footballs?
Most cheap footballs will have an outer skin made of PVC (or a blend of PVC and PU). In other words: These balls are a burden on the environment - and they wont last long, particularly if the outer is thin (0.6 mm are not rare). Further quality cuts are made in the number of plys: There are balls with only one thin fabric lining. While Etiko balls are always made with PU and most with four layers, there are even major branded promotional balls which do not meet the same quality standards.
