Tennis Ball Recycling Solution

As a sport, we throw away an estimated fifteen million tennis balls each year in GB. Most balls will only be played with for 4-6 hours on court, but each ball can take up to 300 years to degrade in landfill.

We have been looking at solutions to this problem and following a successful pilot we would like you to meet DYUCE, an LTA recommended ball recycling service.

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.

How does it work?

DYUCE provides FREE thoughtfully designed collection pods to venues that subscribe. Each collection pod holds 250 balls.

There is a £10 a month rolling subscription to cover the administration, logistics and recycling costs. When the collection bin is full, venues can simply scan a QR at the base of the bin to prompt a next day collection. There is a fee of £15 per box of 250 balls.

Email the DYUCE team on info@dyuce.com to find out more or visit their website here - https://www.dyuce.com/

We understand that many venues may have schemes in place that donate used balls to local charities, schools, dog homes etc. but these balls still ultimately end up in landfill.

DYUCE is circular, collecting used balls and recycles the rubber to make other products and stop millions of balls from entering landfill.
