Slam Dunk, it’s a recycled basket ball!

by David Allen on Monday, April 28th, 2008

This has been a very long time coming, it the green basket ball, well actually its black and is eco friendly because it uses forty per cent recycled rubber. Now that may not seem to be much, but surely anything that is recycled is better than nothing.

However it has been estimated that when seventy of these balls are purchased, then that will be the equivalent of a car tyre, now that really does makes sense because tyres and land fill sites just do not make good partners.

To make the whole package green, the makers Wilson have also made sure that the packaging that the ball comes in use eighty per cent recycled cardboard.

  • I don't know why manufacturers, don't do this more, or why it is just being done now. Especially with rubber items.

    Recycling rubber, plastic, glass, etc just makes sense. (financially and otherwise)

    My 2 cents.
