The environmental and economic performance of a servitization model applied to padel has been evaluated, demonstrating the real potential of circularity when the focus is on the system rather than just the material.
Without modifying the ball—keeping the product in its standard form—a model based on recovery, reconditioning, and reintroduction into use achieves a reduction in cumulative environmental impact of nearly 90%, alongside a 20% improvement in economic competitiveness.
The results confirm that sustainability can be both profitable and scalable when it is integrated into the business model and operational processes.
