A tennis racket with broken polyester strings

Giving tennis strings a second serve.

Every time a racquet is restrung, old polyester strings are usually thrown away. We're working to change that. We collect used tennis strings from local clubs and donate them to a specialized recycling facility, where they are recycled into high quality polyester that can be used to create new materials and sustainable fashion. This keeps plastic out of landfills and gives old strings a second life. We hope this is only the beginning. Today it might be fashion. Tomorrow, maybe technology, medical materials, or something we haven't imagined yet.
