In Penn's first year, 13,000 tennis balls were made (1910). Penn now manufactures 13,000 tennis balls in 1 hour (2010). The first Penn tennis balls created weren't place in pressurized cans but arrived  fresh new off of the production line and were delivered to about 12 of manufacturer divisions which offered “fresh” tennis balls. Pressurized cans were launched in 1922 to provide the tennis balls an extended shelf life.

During the past 10 years, Penn factories have employed A whole lot of felt in the manufacturing process of tennis balls. More than a hundred and fifty million sq ft of optic yellow felt have been used to create tennis balls. A quilt of this much felt would certainly cover almost six square miles of area. If we cut an ongoing strip of this much felt to a 1" width, it would probably stretch for more than 350,000 miles long. You can wrap that around the globe approximately fourteen times. And it would likely be roughly as far to the moon and halfway back!

ECO FRIENDLY TENNIS BALL

Tennis balls are made for various surfaces. Extra Duty felt for hard tennis courts, Regular Duty for softer tennis courts (clay, grass) and extra duty high altitude for locations at greater elevations. When producing the rubber, there is a some amount of dust that results when the tennis balls are buffed. Penn is capable to catch it and put it back into the manufacturing operation. Two million tennis balls every year are produced from that collected dust, reducing on the quantity of new rubber that requires to be used.

Until the rubber is cured, it can be reprocessed and is completely recyclable back into the manufacturing process. After the rubber is cured, it can not be broken down and used again. Nevertheless, Penn's discard rubber is gathered and employed in rubberized asphalt on route and highway – an additional approach to recycle. Penn doesn't get rid of oil into the environment – the oil utilised in the equipment is regenerated back into the manufacturing process and totally used up. All of Penn's master shipping cartons are made of 50 per cent recycled components.

All of Penn's plastic PET containers are recyclable plastic. In addition, Penn uses a distinctive production process that begins with around 25 per cent less resources and also recycles 20percent of the substance used back into the procedure. Due to the fact Penn produces their own cans, any cans that do not fulfill quality specifications is usually ground up and recycled back into the manufacturing operation to produce new cans. Regrettably, completed tennis balls can not be properly recycled, because of the many substances and elements used. Even so, Penn promotes non-traditional recycling: Playing tennis balls that are used for a tournament are then put into training tennis ball basket. Balls too old to be used at a tennis club are given to a various school or recreation park.
Even tennis balls too distressed to be employed for play game are put to use in schools or nursing homes for the soles of seats and walkers.
