reBounces is a small sporting goods manufacturer based in Harrison, Arkansas, focused on environmentally conscious tennis technology. The company markets a patented device known as the Green Tennis Machine, described as the first bulk tennis ball re-pressurization system, which helps tennis teaching facilities extend the life of practice balls and reduce costs and waste. It also operates a free recycling program for tennis balls, available to facilities and individuals in the continental United States that need to dispose of balls responsibly. The business positions itself in an environmental niche within tennis and targets facilities such as teaching centers as well as individual players seeking sustainable options. It notes significant environmental impact through its programs, noting that over 3 million balls have been reused or recycled, avoiding about 200 tonnes of landfill waste and 4 million pounds of CO2. In collaboration with BNP Paribas, reBounces has supported a Tennis Ball Recycling Program at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California, and this effort has recycled more than 300,000 balls in the past four years.
