Recycling Shinkansen into Children's Baseball Bats
The Central Japan Railway Company and Mizzuno are planning to sell limited edition baseball bats made from recycled Shinkansen trains. The bats will feature designs paying homage to the iconic blue and white colors of the trains. The recycling process involves melting down the surrounding metal of the Shinkansen trains and reforming it into baseball bats. The bats will be priced at 14,000 yen each.
