Until now, the golf ball and the term sustainability have not gone together. Due to the primary use of plastics and rubber, which are highly resistant to natural degradation processes, a golf ball does not rot. On the contrary, like all other products made from synthetic materials, they can release harmful chemicals into the soil or water over decades.<br \/>\nGolf balls that decompose are occasionally available on the market but are not approved for tournaments and do not have the same playing characteristics as the market leaders from Titleist, Callaway, Taylor Made or Srixon. The Japanese manufacturer Srixon has not yet released its new Srixon Z-Star +e model for sale but presented it for the first time at the end of last year, so there is speculation that it will soon be launched on the market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plant biomass for the cover<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is the first time that plant biomass has been used in the components. The outer layer of the SRIXON Z-STAR+e golf ball contains urethane derived from biopolyol from corn. This material reduces carbon dioxide emissions during the manufacturing process compared to conventional petroleum-based materials.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m1jnzln0-59055e3b42eab84ba5e9fb861c5c0ea3\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m1jnzln0-59055e3b42eab84ba5e9fb861c5c0ea3 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-m1jnzln0-59055e3b42eab84ba5e9fb861c5c0ea3 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m1jnzln0-59055e3b42eab84ba5e9fb861c5c0ea3 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-27823 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-27823 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Design-ohne-Titel-23-1500x430.jpg\" alt='image of the production of the outer shell of a b\u00b4golfball' title='ball production'  height=\"430\" width=\"1500\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m1jo147s-c0a85bdfabb44be065cc2fe7b85a1107 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>The changes are based on the sustainability strategy published in 2020 by <strong>Sumitomo Rubber Industries<\/strong>, Srixon&#8217;s parent company. It envisages 100% use of sustainable materials in all of its products by 2050. In addition to tyres and other sports equipment, this includes golf balls.<br \/>\nThe Strixon Z-STAR+e ball&#8217;s packaging is already made from 100% recycled paper, so now the material used has been reduced by 40%. The ball was presented for the first time at the <strong>Dunlop Phoenix Tournament in November 2023 on the Japan Golf Tour,<\/strong> where it was played at a show event. This brought the golf ball and its problematic relationship with the environment into the public eye for the first time on a larger scale.<br \/>\nTo date, the problem of the almost exclusive use of synthetic materials and the difficulty of disposing of plastic has hardly been addressed in the golf industry. At the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando 2024, the topic of sustainability was virtually absent from the manufacturers&#8217; stands.<\/p>\n<div hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/biodegradable-golf-balls\/\" class='avia-iframe-wrap'>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"QGB50VbB8L\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/biodegradable-golf-balls\/\">Biodegradable golf balls<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Biodegradable golf balls&#8221; &#8212; Golf Sustainable\" src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/biodegradable-golf-balls\/embed\/#?secret=NNcDdfw3IG#?secret=QGB50VbB8L\" data-secret=\"QGB50VbB8L\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>If you take a look at the sustainability reports of the three leading manufacturers <strong>Acushnet (Titleist), Callaway and Taylor Made<\/strong>, you will see that although progress is being made in sustainable production, the plastic problem of the ball is not being addressed through innovations.

Removing polybags from packaging, reducing energy consumption and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are also being addressed.<\/p>\n<p>In its most recent sustainability report, <strong>TaylorMade<\/strong> focused primarily on responsible sourcing and manufacturing. The company has introduced standards for supplier responsibility related to environmental practices and human rights.<\/p>\n<p>To date, the sustainable use of golf balls has been achieved primarily by selling used or refurbished balls.\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>Tomorrow Golf<\/strong><\/span> is a producer on the market that uses recycled material from the core of old balls for new models.
