Where did the second-hand badminton go?
“Purchase second-hand badmintons in large quantities and recycle them by the kilogram, 5-15 yuan/jin (depending on the quality), or recycle them by the piece, with 1-2 pieces of broken hair, 0.2 yuan/piece, or with whole hair, 0.4 yuan each…”
On social platforms, there is a lot of information about buying second-hand badminton in bulk. The reporter contacted several merchants at random, and they expressed that the purchase demand was genuine: “600 pieces for 130 yuan, just enough to fit in one box. After sorting it out, I will ask the courier to come and pick it up.” Under these purchase information, many badminton enthusiasts and badminton hall practitioners left messages to negotiate, trying to cash in the second-hand badminton in their hands.
As the manager of the arena, the reporter published information about the sale of second-hand badminton balls, and soon some merchants took the initiative to contact them, saying that “we charge as much as we can get” and “higher prices will be given.” When asked about the purpose of recycling badminton balls, most businesses said they use them to make handicrafts, or select intact feathers to make training balls again.
Some merchants admitted that not all of these badminton balls were repaired. “The (manual) repair cost is very high, and batch repairs are not possible now.” They revealed that most second-hand balls will be broken into “down”. As for the specific method, Regarding the operation, the merchant did not want to talk to the reporter anymore and only urged for delivery as soon as possible.
Crushing, washing, drying
“Feather” can become “down”
Henan businessman Liu Sheng (pseudonym) has been engaged in the production and wholesale of small machinery for many years. He said that this kind of business is not new. As early as a few years ago, customers from other places inquired about “high-speed ultra-fine feather crusher” related products from him, and the payment was very easy.
At the installation site, Liu Sheng saw packages of large pieces of raw material, including feathers from badminton balls, waiting to be beaten into “flying silk”.
Unlike down, which is “fine, soft and small”, these large pieces cannot be directly used in down sorting equipment and need to be crushed with a crusher first. Liu Sheng told reporters that some models of machines can process one ton of feathers a day. If they need to be equipped with water washing and drying, “Many high-speed ultra-fine grinders on the market can break feathers and hair stems.” , you can even control the size of the discharging particles, and the machine is also very cheap.” Second-hand badminton becomes “first-hand down jacket”

Down jackets made from badminton feathers are also of low quality. Down jackets are mainly made of down and are more effective in keeping warm.
