Velcro Throw and Catch Game!
Did you get it right?
- This velcro throw and catch game is often played at the beach. Recent upgrades to the game have made it much more waterproof than previously.
- Velcro was first commercially introduced in the late 1950s by Swiss electrical engineer Georges de Mestral.
- The term “velcro” is a combination of two French words: velours (velvet) and croché (hook). Velcro is both the name of the company the founder created, as well as registered trademark of the original product.
- Each year approximately 325 million tennis balls are produced, which contributes to roughly 20,000 tonnes of waste in the form of a not easily biodegradable rubber.
- In 2015, three companies (Advanced Polymer Technology, Ace Surfaces and reBounces) joined together to create a recycling system that incorporates recycled tennis balls into a tennis court surface.
