[GreenYes] Re: Recycling Tennis Balls


Carpet recycling can be accessed at www.carpetrecovery.org - the Carpet America Recovery Effort.
It is still an emerging recycle sector, fine-tuning the technology, infrastructure, and processes to recover post-consumer carpets, so don't know if they're ready for tennis balls.

I'm not sure if it's the same kind of material used in making carpet, but it seems like the materials used in both cases is similar. Is it possible that the carpet guys and use them in the manufacture of carpet-backing?

How big of a problem is it, is it really something that concerns large generators? Who, other than country clubs, would the large generators be, the manufacturers? If tennis ball production facilities are near those who make carpet, it could be a good option.

Sorry that's more questions than answers!!
