This year’s balls, next year’s courts
Laykold x RecycleBalls = the world’s greenest courts
The statistics are striking.
154 million balls each year end up in US landfill
Each ball takes 400 years to decompose
This poses a significant environmental challenge for tennis but Laykold and RecycleBalls have doubled up to set the game on a greener path.
Our R&D teams have developed the green tech to integrate recycled balls into Laykold court systems. The circular innovation is quite literally keeping balls on courts and out of landfill. Welcome to the world’s greenest court surfaces.
Together, Laykold and RecycleBalls are rewriting the stats.
We will repurpose 5-10 million balls per year.
That’s enough carbon saving to charge 382,896,768 smartphones.
Go on. Play on Green Technology.
“We collected over 13,000 balls at the US Open this year, and we’re signed up for more tournaments next year. 10,000 tennis balls is enough to create a new force reduction Laykold court for a local club which is great for injury prevention to players and the planet.”
