Believe it or not, “Eco-Friendly” is the buzzword du jour, and it also applies to tennis. While zero waste is something we are all striving for, being environmentally conscious in sports may be very important.

The majority of tennis shoes, racquets, and balls are not constructed of environmentally friendly materials, but that does not mean they have to be unfriendly. Tennis racquets with natural gut strings, leather rather than synthetic grips, and biodegradable materials should be your top choices.
