Tokyo-based RITA JAPAN Inc. (CEO: Masakatsu Noguchi) has received the 19th Kids Design Award for its “Green Platform” initiative, which connects children and communities through sustainable schoolyard greening.
The project introduces RET (RITA Ecology Turf), an eco-friendly artificial turf that eliminates rubber chips, lowers surface heat, and is fully recyclable. This innovation addresses safety, environmental, and cost issues that have hindered schoolyard greening in Japan.
By combining technology with a unique sponsorship model and community-driven events, the initiative reduces schools’ financial burden and creates sustainable systems for future maintenance.
With this award, RITA JAPAN will accelerate nationwide expansion, transforming barren grounds into safe, green spaces where children can play, grow, and foster stronger ties with their communities.
