The tennis and padel ball collection and recycling program

Tennis and padel are among the most polluting sports in the world

+350M

balls used each year

That's equivalent to 70 Olympic-sized swimming pools of waste every year. It seems unthinkable not to address this issue for the sake of our sport and the planet.

2500

years to decompose

That's four times more than a plastic bottle! Recycling balls is the solution to improving the ecological impact of our sport.

<5%

of balls are recycled

We must do better by giving old balls a second life. Turning this waste into a new, sustainable use is a priority.

It’s time to act!

We are committed, alongside clubs, to making sports more sustainable by facilitating ball recycling. With Bounce Circular, you can recycle all the balls discarded by your members in just two clicks.

A committed club

Sustainable recycling

Balls are recycled through shredding, blowing, micronization, or devulcanization. These processes are used, among other things, to create sports surfaces

We've cut our ball consumption in half and saved 2,500 euros a year. Today, we change the balls more or less every 10-12 weeks, whereas before we changed them every 5-6 weeks. We're also making our sport more eco-responsible, so we're pleased!

For me, the Bounce Pro is a revolutionary product because I’m from the old school and didn’t believe in it at all.

But after seeing the results firsthand, especially the clear drop in my ball costs, I can only say: well done, Bounce Pro.
