Where do all the balls go? Out of Bounds puts traceability on recycling

It's a scene many golfers are familiar with: you hit your ball, and it disappears into the treacherous water. But ever wonder what happens to all those lost balls? Out of Bounds not only has the answer to that question, but also a solution that helps the environment and golf clubs all over Sweden.

Over half a million Swedish golfers take to the clubs and hit around 10 million rounds of golf each year. Unfortunately, not all shots turn out as we intended, and many golf balls end up where they shouldn't - in the water or in the woods. This situation is where Out of Bounds comes into play.

With a collaboration that extends to around 250 golf clubs in Sweden and Europe, Out of Bounds has created an impressive circuit for golf balls. Their experienced and efficient divers retrieve balls from water hazards on golf courses around Europe. What makes this partnership even more beneficial for the golf clubs is that they get to bill Out of Bounds for the balls collected. It is money that often goes directly to support junior activities, which is a valuable addition to the clubs' finances.

After the balls are rescued from their aquatic adventures, they are transported to Out of Bound's laundry facility, where they undergo a thorough and eco-friendly cleaning process. Broken balls or those that are in poor condition are sorted out and discarded, while the remaining balls are grouped by make, model and year of manufacture. There are almost 300 different models for sale, and the balls undergo a quality control before reaching the market.

Out of Bounds also has a unique ball quality grading system, helping customers make informed choices when purchasing recycled golf balls. Customers have several different classes to choose from, so they can find the ball that best suits their playing style and budget.
