DO NOT DISCARD YOUR STRINGS.

 

With the strings from 5 rackets, Infinite Athletic manufactures a 100% sustainable technical shirt.

As part of the the Values Education that we promote at MBA Tennis Academy, we wanted to join the innovative project of the Catalan company Infinite Athletic, which manages to give a new useful life to our strings.

n their commitment to Sustainability and the Environment,the company collects and recycles used strings, transforming them into threads that will later become 100% sustainable shirts and sportswear.

Some interesting facts:

  • A professional player can consume 11,000 meters of string in a single season. Equivalent to 1,000 rackets.
  • During the 14 days of Roland Garros, more than 4,500 rackets are strung.
  • In 2020, there were more than 1,100 tennis clubs in Spain, with Catalonia having the most members with over 200.

At MBA, we want to support the work of Infinite Athletic by collecting strings from the Academy and our students to contribute as much as possible to the success of this original initiative.

PLUGS FOR A NEW LIFE

In line with the training in Values ​​that we promote from the MBA Tennis Academy, we have joined the program PLUGS FOR A NEW LIFE ®. A project that promotes SEUR Foundation,  through which the students of the Academy will be able to learn and reinforce their commitment to the Sustainability and Solidarity through their direct involvement in it.

The project started in 2011, consists of the collection and subsequent delivery of plastic plugs to a recycling plant in order to help children with serious health problems. Here are some numbers that speak for themselves:

  • More than 205 niños y niñas have accessed medical treatments and orthopedics not covered by the public health system, thanks to the recycling of 6,542 tons of plugs. reciclaje de 10.044 toneladas of plugs. 
  • The emission of 8,198 tons of CO2 has been avoided 10.044 toneladas de CO2, the main gas that causes climate change. 
  • In total 3.349.255.827 recycled caps, which have translated into more than 1.402.052€ raised!

How does it work?

It is simply that the children can deposit the plugs in the special container that we have placed in the hall of the Club and next to the one that appears the photo of the beneficiary child at all times, which usually varies every 4 or 5 months. 

The little ones may need your collaboration to get them but there are many caps that work: those of the water bottle that we have gone down to the track, those that can be gathered at home from milk, soap from the washing machine, the butter cap, etc.. and those that are generated in the Catering Roser bar and in the Club itself who have offered to help us as well.

Together we can do a great job! 

Can you help us to achieve it?
