The Story of GreenUp Golf
In 2021, a small group of Danish golf enthusiasts decided it was time to give golf a sustainable twist. On a course in Copenhagen, we set out to reshape golf’s impact on the planet.
Traditional golf tees damage greenkeepers’ equipment, are rarely fully biodegradable, and often travel thousands of kilometers before reaching European golfers. We knew golf could do better.
That’s why we created GreenUp Golf Tees – crafted from plastic-free biomaterial and locally upcycled coffee grounds. They are eco-friendly, durable, and designed to perform on the course. With GreenUp tees, transportation is reduced, deforestation is avoided, and waste is transformed into innovation.

Why GreenUp? – Facts & Benefits
🌱 Sustainable alternative: Traditional wooden and plastic tees litter golf courses worldwide. Bamboo and wood often come from unsustainable harvesting and long-distance shipping from Asia.
☕ From coffee to course: The coffee industry accounts for ~1% of global climate impact. By upcycling discarded coffee grounds into golf tees, we reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions.
♻️ Innovative biomaterial: Our tees are made from a blend of calcium carbonate, sugar cane, vegetable oil, grain, ester – all 100% biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
🌍 Local production: Made in Denmark, not shipped halfway across the globe. This means a lower CO₂ footprint and better traceability.
🌸 Unique coffee aroma: Packaged in biodegradable bags, GreenUp tees leave no harmful residues – only a subtle scent of fresh coffee.
🏌️ No compromise: Same performance, better planet. Golfers and clubs can contribute to a greener tomorrow without changing their game.
