RECYCLED TENNIS NETS
Beauty brand Garnier has used plastic
scrap to develop the world’s first
‘green net’ for competition-grade ten-
nis and it debuted at this year’s
Australian Open Grand Slam tourna-
ment. As a partner of the major event,
Garnier is using its Coast to Court cam-
paign to create new nets using waste
netting that was bound for landfill.
By doing so, the brand is drawing
attention to Australia’s plastic waste
problem and reducing the eight mil-
lion tonnes of discarded plastic that
ends up in the world’s oceans each
year. Beyond the Australian Open,
Garnier wants to create more green
nets for schools and grassroots clubs
around the country.
Per capital, Australia is the world’s
second-highest waste producer, with
the United States in first place.

Australia, every Australian accounts
for 690 kg of waste sent to landfill
every year. ‘The amount of waste
placed in landfill annually is enough to
cover the state of Victoria,’ says ceo
Terrie-Ann Johnson. ‘Plastic has
remained the most common category
of rubbish picked up on Clean Up
Australia Day (1 March) over the last
20 years. On average, it makes up
35% of all waste collected. Almost
17% of this represents plastic bags.’
Meanwhile, the Australia’s govern-
ment has announced it will host a
More than 79 000 tonnes of e-scrap was collected to create
the Olympic Games medals.
