Every year, around fifteen million tennis balls are discarded in Great Britain, used for only 4-6 hours before taking up to 300 years to decompose in landfills.
To address this issue, the LTA have teamed up with DYUCE, who following a successful pilot program, are now rolling out their subscription ball recycling service across the country.
Tennis and padel ball rubber is infinitely recyclable, and DYUCE process all balls, in any condition right here in the UK. The recycled rubber is used again in various circular applications including rubber soles for athletic footwear.
Visit the LTA’s toolkit on How to Be a More Environmentally Sustainable Club to learn how to prevent tennis balls from ending up in landfills with DYUCE ball recycling.
