POINT is a 3D-printed, pressureless tennis ball made from PLA-HR, a recyclable bio-based filament. Over 300 million tennis balls are produced each year, generating around 20,000 tons of waste, most of which end up in landfills and can take up to 400 years to decompose. Designed to be 90% more eco-friendly than conventional balls, POINT has been tested by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) for performance and durability. By rethinking the internal structure and manufacturing process, this project offers a sustainable, high-performance alternative, showing how innovation and eco-conscious design can transform the future of sports equipment.
