Green Gold Coast Environmental Consulting is a specialized sustainability firm founded to bridge the gap between racquet sports and the circular economy. We partner with tennis and platform tennis facilities on Long Island to implement recycling solutions that turn waste into "Green Gold."
The Problem: Every year, millions of tennis balls are manufactured, used for a few sets, then discarded. Because of their complex rubber and felt composition, a single ball can take over 400 years to decompose. For the average club, this translates to thousands of pounds of non-biodegradable waste heading to local landfills, a waste model that is both environmentally costly and a missed financial opportunity.
Our Solution: Eliminate equipment waste in the racquet sports industry by providing clubs with seamless, data-driven recycling infrastructure. We believe that sustainability should be operationally invisible for the club, but economically visible for management.
The Impact: Since 2025, we've diverted nearly 3 tons of tennis and platform tennis balls from landfill, prevented over 6 million unit-years of landfill residency, offset over 6 tons of greenhouse gas emissions, and created over $7,000 in potential tax deductions.


End-to-end handling of collection bins, on-site setup, regular retrieval, and third-party shipment to our processing partners RecycleBalls, Bark Balls & Ridwell, for material recycling.

Move beyond "going green" to "saving green." We provide detailed cost-benefit analyses, identifying potential tax savings and operational efficiencies.

We deliver quarterly sustainability reports that quantify carbon footprint reduction and material repurposing, giving clubs tangible data to share with their membership.

We ensure that every ball collected is repurposed or sent to be turned into "Green Gold,” high-quality crumb rubber used in tennis courts, horse footings, dog toys & other green projects, closing the loop on ball waste.
As a varsity tennis player and nationally ranked junior platform tennis competitor, I’ve spent a lot of time on the court. I see firsthand the massive volume of equipment that clubs cycle through and the waste it leaves behind. I founded Green Gold Coast Environmental Consulting to bridge the gap between athletics and environmental responsibility. By combining my passion for the game with a data-driven approach to sustainability, I help clubs turn their "dead" balls into "Green Gold," creating value for both the planet and the bottom line.
