our mission
Recycle 2,000,000 tennis balls in the next few years
Every year, 125 million used tennis balls ends up in landfills and generates 20,000 tons of methane-producing and non-compostable waste. Methane is a greenhouse gas which is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
One tennis ball takes over 400 years to decompose. Our Mission is to repurpose or recycle 2 million used tennis balls by donating them to local animal shelters and senior centers, or recycling them via the Wilson Recycle Balls Program.
