As Spalding, doesn’t clearly reveal where all of their raw materials come from, another research was found to kind of put together of where everything comes from, but for example the butyl rubber used to create the bladder of the ball, uses many different components like chemicals, which makes the whole process of tracking a lot harder. Exxon Mobile is one of the top butyl producers of the world and its chemical production laboratory is located in Houston, Texas. Natural rubber can be found in many different plants, but the one that produces the most is still the rubber tree, after collecting from the tree, the rubber is a liquid that needs to be filtered and reacted with an acid to create the solid rubber. From Houston the Butyl rubber is

None of Spaldings basketballs are recycled, but, all of the leather scraps that are left from the production of the ball can be used to create polyurethane leather, and some byproducts like the butyl rubber can be re-used to product more of it. Most of the waste and emissions of the the Spalding basketball come from the raw material collection an producing process. The wastes and emissions tend to negatively impact the environment, because all of the chemicals and machines used to produce and manufacture some parts of the ball. As no official information was found saying how much an employee at Spalding receives, some other research was done to see how they just work in their factories, and all the employees in the United States seemed to be in very healthy conditions, specially because the United States is a richer country than many others that produce things like a basketball, and because the research was done in the Spalding NBA official Game Ball, it was easier to get a little closer to the employees and see that they seemed satisfied with their work at Spalding, because anyone that works completing the NBA Official Game Ball, has a lot of respect, so they tend to gain more money (Probably), than others. It’s probably safe to assure that the workers working to produce the Game Ball Gain more because there are a lot of Youtube Videos showing the balls are done,
