Each year, 325 million tennis and padel balls are produced, many ending up in landfills. On a single padel court, an average of 24 balls are discarded daily, adding up to 720 balls per month. This is a global issue.
Portres is creating longer-lasting, more durable padel balls and exploring ways to extend their life beyond the court. We’re actively developing recycling schemes and partnerships to prevent used balls from reaching landfill.
Once the bespoke onboarding process has been created for your club, a custom designed pod will be dropped off at your venue.
Our pod holds up to 900 balls ensuring only one pick up is required per month. Due to the design of the Upcycling Pod, the space can be used as marketing space for your own club or sponsors.
The hassle free process enables peace of mind for your players, knowing that this isn’t the end of the road for their used balls.
