Summary:

At the BNP Paribas Open there was a new form of recycling, they collected used tennis balls. They collected 2,500 balls and for each person who brought 6 balls they received a new can of tennis balls. Every year there is about 20,000 tons of waste is because of tennis balls.

Response:

This is a great idea and way to recycle. The average person can recycle their old tennis balls ad get new ones to use. They company either makes them bounce again and sells them discounted to coaches. Or they are used to cover furniture or walker legs to prevent floor damage. It is a good way to save our environment. Now I'm able to recycle the old tennis balls that my dogs wrecked.
