Veolia and the Carvana Professional Pickleball Association (PPA Tour) have extended their sustainability partnership for two years, continuing efforts to reduce waste and environmental impacts at professional pickleball events across the United States.

The partnership, which began in 2024, has introduced water refill stations, recycling initiatives and resource recovery programs at tournaments in Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix and Los Angeles. The efforts have helped avoid more than 175,000 single-use plastic bottles, according to the companies.

Additional initiatives include upcycled tournament trophies, benches made from recycled materials and recovery of leftover court paint for reuse. The partners plan to expand these efforts during the next two years, with an increased focus on community projects in tournament host cities.

Planned activities include youth clinics, cleanup events and beautification projects conducted with local organizations. Potential projects include litter reduction along Milwaukee River and invasive plant removal in Cary, North Carolina.
