En el marco de la Educación en Valores que promulgamos desde MBA Tennis Academy, hemos querido sumarnos al innovador Proyecto de la empresa catalana Infinite Athletic que consigue dar una nueva vida útil a nuestros cordajes.

En su compromiso con la sostenibilidad y el medioambiente, la empresa se encarga de recolectar y reciclar los cordajes usados, transformándolos en hilos que después darán lugar a camisetas y prendas deportivas 100% sostenibles.

Algunos datos interesantes:

• Un jugador profesional puede consumir 11.000 mtos de cordaje en una única temporada. El equivalente a 1.000 raquetas.
• En los 14 días que dura Roland Garros se encuerdan más de 4.500 raquetas
• En el 2020 había más de 1.100 clubs de tenis en España, siendo Cataluña la Comunidad con más afiliados con más de 200.

Desde MBA queremos respaldar la labor de Infinite Athletic recolectando los cordajes de la Academia y de nuestros alumnos para contribuir en la medida de lo posible al éxito de esta original inciativa.

The courts of MBA Tennis Academy have been filled with color with the arrival of fun and original grips from the company Alien Pros, specialized in the design of grips for tennis rackets.

Alien Pros has given the students of the Academy with grips of different models and colors that the little ones have received with enthusiasm and gratitude.

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 171 boys and girls have accessed medical treatments and orthopedics not covered by the public health system, thanks to the recycling of 6,542 tons of plugs. 

• The emission of 8,198 tons of CO2 has been avoided2, the main gas that causes climate change. 

• In total, 2 billion recycled plugs (with which 13 Olympic swimming pools could be filled), which has resulted in more than 1.200.000?  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. 

Right now it is Alba, a 3-year-old girl with cerebral palsy who can greatly improve her quality of life by doing rehabilitation with the world's first infant exoskeleton.

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?
