A full service recycling solution dedicated to changing the throw away culture in tennis and padel.
Every year tennis players in the UK & Ireland put millions of tennis balls in landfill. We estimate over 400 million balls hit landfill globally every year.
Each and every tennis ball takes over 300 years to biodegrade.
Unlike other organisations, DYUCE collects and fully recycles ALL balls in any condition at our recycling facility in the UK. We never repurpose or resell balls.
Help us reduce the impact of the game we love by installing DYUCE in your club.
Our DYUCE courtside collection pod has been carefully designed and crafted to promote recycling and sustainability right in the heart of clubs.
- Lightweight and easy to install
- Designed to hang year round on most tennis fencing
- Holds 250 balls- with an easy release hatch at the base so no need to remove the pod when collecting balls
- Striking design to promote courtside recycling and ball collection
How It Works
Subscribe and receive your DYUCE collection pod kit. Follow the easy to use instructions for installation and start collecting balls.
When the collection pod is full, empty the balls into our DYUCE collection box and scan the QR code to schedule an automatic pick up.
We collect ALL balls, in any condition and drive them to our UK recycling partner for processing.
The recycled rubber from our balls is reused in circular rubber products including soles for athletic footwear amongst other applications.
Here’s some frequently asked questions about DYUCE. If you still have questions- get in touch on info@dyuce.com.
-
Our collection pod is designed to mount on most tennis fences. The pod does not attach to walls. It’s easy to install and comes with an instruction guide. For indoor courts or where robust fencing isn’t available there is a free standing option available.
-
Standard recycling and waste disposal companies are currently unable to recycle the rubber in tennis balls.
-
There are many great organisations and charities that reuse tennis balls after they’ve finished life on court. Whilst it’s good to know balls are being re used, this doesn’t eliminate the problem of balls entering landfill. DYUCE is currently one of the only solutions to fully recycling the rubber from tennis and padel balls.
-
There are some companies that repurpose used tennis balls for sale in secondary markets. Once resold- these balls are often not recycled at all. We urge you to ask more questions of any partners your club is working with, as our experience is that most balls will still end up in landfill.
-
We take all collected tennis balls to our UK based recycling partner where they are fully processed, removing the felt from the rubber completely. The rubber is broken down and reused in circular rubber products including rubber soles in athletic footwear, thus reducing our reliance on virgin and rubbers.
