About
What inspired us to create Amazeballs
BACK STORY
On average, a padel ball only lasts between 2 & 4 matches. After that, the ball may still be usable but expect less bounce and predictability.
With padel’s explosive growth and the environmental challenges posed by discarded balls, this initiative creates meaningful community impact while offering brands a unique sponsorship & CSI opportunity.
MISSION
Our mission is to reduce waste, upcycle materials, and fund community development through innovative recycling methods, including playground surfacing, furniture, art, and school donations.
THE METHOD
We collect used padel and tennis balls, rackets and court surfaces before they reach landfill. Working with artists, designers and community partners, we give them a second life as playground equipment, school starter packs and sports pitches for children in under-resourced communities.
