Why thinkpac Is Supporting Dink & Drive Pickleball
At thinkpac, our work centres on building a more circular future. That means helping resources stay in use for longer, reducing waste and supporting businesses that want to meet sustainability goals without compromise.
But circularity is not only about materials. It is also about people, connection, energy and balance.
That is why thinkpac is proudly supporting
Dink & Drive, Melbourne’s newest premium pickleball destination in
Port Melbourne.
This partnership is also personal. For our founder, Calvin Ng, pickleball has become a practical way to support health, family time and community connection after years of building a business.
Finding Balance After Years of Building a Business
For years, Calvin searched for a hobby that supported a healthier balance between work and family.
Many activities demanded too much time, did not fit a busy schedule or simply did not bring people together in the way he hoped. Pickleball changed that.
Pickleball is fast, social, inclusive and easy to pick up.
It welcomes all skill levels and creates the kind of easy connection people naturally lean into. For Calvin, it ticked every box: fun, active, family-friendly and practical.
A Sport Aligned with thinkpac’s Values
Pickleball may seem a world away from recycled resin and manufacturing lines, but the alignment is real.
At thinkpac, we believe sustainability only works when it is practical, accessible and built for the real world. Our ReCree8® resin, made from 100% post-consumer recycled soft plastic and independently authenticated by GECA, is one example of that approach.
Practical sustainability should be easy to understand, easy to access and easy to act on.
Why We’re Spotlighting Dink & Drive This Summer
Supporting pickleball reflects the same mindset. It is an activity that lowers barriers, brings people together and creates positive impact.
The sport’s rapid growth shows that people are actively looking for connection, movement and fresh ways to reset.
Dink & Drive brings world-class pickleball courts, quality facilities and a warm, community-first environment to Melbourne. Whether you are organising a team break, planning a family hit-out or trying a new summer hobby, it is a space designed for easy fun and genuine connection.

Community Matters Inside and Outside the Workplace
thinkpac’s work in circularity is about creating long-term systems that benefit businesses, communities and the environment.
But sustainability is not just technical. It is also human. Strong teams, balanced people and positive communities create the conditions where better decisions are made.
Backing a sport that brings people together is one small but meaningful way we can contribute beyond the factory floor.
A Final Note as We Close Out the Year
To everyone in the wider thinkpac community, customers, partners and new connections, thank you for moving with us toward stronger PCR adoption and practical circular solutions.
We wish you a restful Christmas, a joyful summer and time with the people who matter. If you are looking for something new to try, we reckon pickleball is worth a hit.
