Tato Team Tennis Club Joins esosport Project for Tennis Ball Recycling

The prestigious Tato Team Tennis Club, at the Salaria Sport Village in Rome, announces its participation in the esosport project, dedicated to the collection and recycling of end-of-life tennis balls. Thanks to this partnership, the club members now have the opportunity to actively contribute to environmental protection. Every used tennis ball can be deposited in special containers dedicated to recycling. A novelty for the tennis players who attend the club and who from today can choose to allocate the old balls to a circular economy project that values waste as a new secondary raw material to be used for new purposes.

The Initiative

Within the Tato Team Tennis, there is an ESObox esosport balls container in which the old balls, no longer usable for play but useful for new projects, can be disposed of: sent for recycling at the ESO RECYCLING plant in Tolentino in the Marche region, the balls are turned into granules usable for sports flooring and playgrounds. "Your club's participation in this initiative," says Nicolas Meletiou, managing director of esosport, "represents a significant step towards promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility in sports practice. We are grateful for your commitment and look forward to working together to positively contribute to the environment and the local community."

The Partnership

The president and Team Manager of Tato Tennis Team thanks Nicolas Meletieu, focusing on the social and environmental importance of the project. "The Tato Tennis Team, thanks to our partnership, wants to be a pioneer by involving as many players as possible: Clubs, Sponsor Companies, Tennis Players, and Institutions. Moreover," says Tato Pedè, "throughout the year we organize multiple sports competitions such as the international Lemon Bowl Tournament, amateur and competitive Tournaments, and initiatives like Racchette in Classe particularly aimed at young people in schools. Many opportunities in which we will have the chance to conduct ad hoc collection campaigns and raise awareness for these recovery actions. Simple, yet impactful actions for the environment. That's why we named the project FAIBENEPERSTARBENE."
