THE RUBBER REVOLUTION

REUSE-A-BALL WAS CREATED AS A RECYCLING PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF BASKETBALLS AND FOOTBALLS. RECYCLING BALLS CAN PREVENT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF DEFORESTATION AND MINIMIZE THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF RUBBER IN THE LANDFILLS. INSTEAD OF THROWING AWAY OLD, USED BALLS, THEY ARE DEPOSITED INTO ONE OF OUR COLLECTION STATION BINS. THEN, THEY ARE RENEWED IN OUR GRINDING STATION. THERE, THE RECYCLED BALLS ARE GRINDED AND TURNED INTO RUBBER CRUMB. THE RUBBER CRUMB IS REUSED FOR RUBBER MULCH, TURF AND FLOORING FOR PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS. WITH REUSE-A-BALL, THE NUMBER OF RUBBER BALLS FILLING UP LANDFILLS AND HURTING THE ENVIRONMENT CAN BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED.
