The SMASH-PP project aims to develop a sustainable, high-performance pickleball racket made from recyclable thermoplastic materials, replacing non-recyclable composites.

The racket combines technological innovation, durability, comfort, and biomechanical sensors to optimise performance and prevent injuries, alongside an efficient production process.

It is positioned as an innovative, circular solution for sports equipment with a low environmental impact.

The project consortium includes organisations such as SEARCH4FUN, BLOCKILLUSION, FNWAY, PIEP and INEGI.
