PHOENIX, August 23, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Penn, America's leading tennis ball brand distributed by HEAD USA Inc., has announced an upgrade to their tennis ball packaging aimed at improving its environmental footprint. The newly designed cans feature a shorter removable sleeve to facilitate easier recycling and reduced ink usage.

Furthermore, the plastic used in the cans and lids is now treated with an organic additive by Midori Bio Inc., allowing the materials to break down in landfills within 3-5 years, compared to hundreds of years for typical plastics.

Jeff Ratkovich, Senior Business Manager for Penn Tennis, stated, "Our first priority is to promote and encourage the tennis-playing community to recycle their discarded packaging, but we also understand that most of these materials are destined for landfills. So we're cutting down the biodegrading time by partnering with Midori Bio and incorporating their pioneering organic additive in our new ball cans and plastic lid caps. It is the responsible thing to do."

The revamped cans are set to replace current ones in the U.S. and Canada, starting with Pro Penn Marathon and Penn Tour premium balls, followed by Penn Championship cans due later this year, and the rest of the range scheduled for 2024.
