Over recent years, and rightly so, golf as a sport has started to become more environmentally aware. Golf’s initiatives range from reducing the use of single use plastics at large events to changing what chemicals are allowed on golf courses.

We wanted to join the revolution by creating a golf brand that is as much about being environmentally conscious as it is about providing quality products to golfers.

Our golf tees are made from sustainable bamboo and shipped in recycled & recyclable materials. Since launching we’ve introduced a variety of products to help the environment, to help golfers to look better and to help golfers play better. All of which are either produced or shipped and handled in environmentally responsible ways.

The majority of our tees are made from bamboo. In the very near future we expect 100% of our tees to be made from bamboo. It’s an incredible material and here’s some reasons why:

1. Bamboo can be harvested as quickly as 1 year after being planted. Compare that to most hardwoods – which take around 40 years to reach a harvestable condition.
2. Bamboo, like hardwood trees, absorbs carbon dioxide. Bamboo’s advantage is that it releases around 35% more oxygen than hardwood trees.
3. Very little waste. Making our tees from Bamboo actually uses almost 100% of the materials harvested.
4. Bamboo grows fast! Some types can grow up to 3 feet in a single day!!
5. Bamboo tees are tougher than hardwood tees. They take more of an impact to break. And even when they do break, their fibrous make-up means that they don’t normally snap and can be simply bent back in to shape.

Our packaging is extremely diverse. From compostable mailer bags to recyclable packets of tees. Here’s what we use:

1. When we ship orders online direct from Green Tees, we often ship the tees out loose in recyclable boxes or compostable bags. No packets of tees. This small change reduces the amount of materials that will be wasted as a result of every order.
2. Stores and Pro Shops currently sell our tees in either resealable & recyclable bags or compostable paper bags – depending on the proprietors preference. We believe both to be huge improvements on common;y used plastic bags or treated / laminated cardboard used by other manufacturers.
3. We are soon to be starting an initiative for Pro Shops to sell our tees “out loose”. This means that players will purchase tees and have them handed to them without packets. This technique will reduce wasted packaging (which is normally discarded moments after purchase anyway) and create a more cost effective way of buying tees for customers.
