Details
Often items that are no longer in good enough condition to use in research or teaching situations are still far from the end of their life. The Reuse pillar of the circular ecomony concept extends the life of items destined for landfill and can reduce the needs for its purchase and therefore, overall manufacturing demand. In terms of sports equipment, you may also be aiding in creating opportunities for parts of the community that would not be there otherwise.
Consider options for old sports gear that is no longer required or useable for lab studies, but still in good condition, and if it can be redistributed and donated to the local community.
Consider local schools, sports teams or charities that specialise in redistributing old sports gear.
