What We Do?

We make it easy for players to do the right thing and take care of all the rest

Collect

We cooperate with clubs (coaches, players) and arrange our collection boxes in a visible place. We regularly collect the balls from these boxes.

Create new products - circularity

The crushed and/or separated material is supplied either directly to customers (Yellow Moss for parkour stables) or to manufacturers of other products in cooperation with Dropp.

Grind and separation process

Our technological process is able to separate up to 95% of the materials into their pure forms (such as rubber and yellow felt covering tennis balls - melton).

R&D - innovative products

We are constantly looking for and testing other products in which the tennis balls and the grit obtained from them would live a much longer life
