Giving tennis balls a second life
A unique solution for cleaner tennis

Transforming tennis environment for a better future
71 mil.
tennis balls end up in a landfill in Europe
0,1 %
of tennis waste is recycled
8 h
is the average lifespan on the court before it is thrown away
A tennis ball takes 400 years to decompose in nature. Can we do anything about it? Definitely yes!
With dropp, every player can do the right thing easily - and save the balls from the landfill!
We collaborate with clubs, coaches, and players to place collection boxes in visible locations like courts, clubhouses and indoor courts. These boxes are regularly collected.
We can separate up to 95% of materials into their pure forms (such as rubber and the yellow felt covering tennis balls - melton).
We supply crushed and/or separated material either directly to customers (Yellow Moss for riding arenas) or to other partners who can use it.
We are constantly looking for, and testing, new products in which the tennis balls and the grit recovered from them will live a much longer life than normal.
Get involved - together we are stronger
Anyone can get involved: players, clubs, tennis academies, coaches or tournaments. Become part of the dropp community that cleans up tennis.

We are constantly trying to save as many tennis balls as possible from the landfill. We have surpassed 280 cooperating tennis and padel clubs. Will the next be yours?
