The BOLAS FELIZES project is an innovative initiative that promotes the circular economy in the padel and tennis sectors by reusing used balls to reduce the carbon footprint and transform them into valuable sustainable products.
We work in partnership with organizations that support these sports—clubs, academies, associations, and others—because we believe sustainability is a shared commitment.
Each stakeholder plays a crucial role in this journey, and we invite you to join us in this mission.

A COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE
Sustainability is the ability to fulfil the needs of the present without compromising future generations, guaranteeing a balance between the environment, society and the economy.
In the BOLAS FELIZES project, which reuses tennis and padel balls, sustainability is at the centre of our mission. We are committed to the circular economy, avoiding waste and giving a new purpose to materials that would otherwise end up in landfill.
