Through innovation and collaboration, we aim to reduce waste, advance the circular economy, and inspire sustainable practices across industries—all while staying rooted in the values of teamwork and dedication we’ve learned on the court.

Process

Collect
We partner with tennis facilities and players to collect used polyester tennis strings, ensuring they are diverted from landfills and repurposed for recycling into high-quality materials.

Repurpose

Using advanced recycling techniques, we break down polyester tennis strings to remove impurities and additives, transforming them into high-purity polyester
