• The production process for shuttlecocks made using such natural materials as geese feathers requires a large amount of water to wash, sterilise, and bleach the feathers.
• Cruelty toward geese and ducks in the plucking process and the living conditions are unknown.
• The shuttles are non-recyclable, reusable or repairable so have a huge impact on the environment as each feather will last one game and then go to wastelands.
• The escalating popularity of this sport has led to millions of feather shuttlecocks being produced annually, exacerbating the negative ecological effects caused by transportation emissions from global shipping.
