How esosport® balls works

What is esosport TENNIS AND PADEL

---

Athletes and enthusiasts know very well that playing with a deflated ball, which has lost its original characteristics, is tiring, less effective, and can even be risky in terms of injuries.
For example, tennis and padel instructors use huge quantities of balls during lessons, and after just a few matches, these need to be replaced.

A medium-sized tennis or padel club can consume up to around 700 balls per month. That’s why it’s crucial to find a new way to recycle these exhausted balls, contributing to environmental protection.

esosport TENNIS AND PADEL is the recycling project created by esosport for collecting and recycling tennis and padel balls. The project offers tennis and padel clubs, specialized stores, and sports facilities the opportunity to collect used balls through a dedicated ESObox container.

The aim of esosport with this initiative is to reduce waste by giving new life to material that might otherwise end up in landfills, transforming it into secondary raw material with practical applications.

HOW IT WORKS

esosport TENNIS AND PADEL provides the ESObox container for collecting used tennis and padel balls. This container is designed to be durable and suitable for outdoor use, making it ideal to be placed on tennis and padel courts.

The service includes:

• 1 ESObox (80x60x60 cm) for collecting used balls
• 1 pole with crowner to hold the balls
• A sturdy, outdoor-ready design

The collected material will be picked up and transported to the ESO RECYCLING storage facility for processing.

RECYCLING PROCESS

The balls undergo a precise separation process. The inner part made of EPDM (rubber) is transformed into granules for creating shock-absorbing surfaces for playgrounds and other applications, helping to improve public spaces.

SOLIDARY SCALE: GOGREEN – ONLUS

The recycled material from esosport TENNIS AND PADEL is donated free of charge to GOGREEN, a non-profit organization involved in social projects such as:

• Betty’s Gardens, dedicated to Elisabetta Salvioni Meletiou
• Filippide’s Track, promoting inclusion and physical activity in the most vulnerable communities

These projects do not generate commercial profit and are offered free of charge to requesting administrations, thanks to fundraising and voluntary contributions from companies and individuals.
